（2025·江西·模拟预测）Ben, a licensed clinical social worker and his wife Heather both worked two jobs to support their family with two young children, and often lived from hand to mouth. But Ben’s own lack never prevented him from being the generous person that he is. When he saw families in his casework who couldn’t afford basic necessities, he’d call Heather and Heather always said yes to help them. Then he decided to do more.
In 2018, Ben started gathering winter coats and foods in his office, and received donations from local families and community groups. He and his colleagues would then deliver donations to their clients. Heather also put out a collection box in the gym where she worked. “It makes me feel so good to help families that we know are in need,” Ben told Heather. “I think we should try to do even more!”
The next year, the couple named their effort Benny’s Bode (BennysBodega.com) and made it a public welfare organization. After receiving generous donations, they moved operations to a 1,200-square-foot retail store space. Now “customers” who are often working people keeping their head above water arrive at what looks like a store, and show proof of employment and a photo ID to shop at Benny’ s, always free of charge. Visits are allowed twice monthly, and veterans (退伍军人) and senior citizens can visit once a month. Benny’s Bodega helps 1,700 people each month in 2024 alone.
Heather and Ben are thrilled that they can help. “This is something that I need to do,” says Ben, “something that I feel I am put on this earth to do.” Adds Heather, “Ben would always say that giving back and volunteering is actually the most selfish thing you can do because of the joy you get from helping change someone’s life.”
