Portland boy trying to sack hunger in Portland with PB&Js
PORTLAND, OR (KPTV) -

Kadin Adam, 10, doesn't just play football, he lives it.

As a quarterback on a Parkrose Youth Football team, there's always been something about beating a tackle he loves.

"You get to run the ball and score a touchdown," he said.

But this summer, there's a new end zone Kadin has his sights set on. He's collecting cans and bottles by the dozen and using the money to buy food for the hungry in downtown Portland.

Once he cashes in on the cans and bottles, he buys the fixings for his favorite sandwich: the PB&J. Then, with the help of his mother, he cranks out one sandwich after another.

With sandwiches in hand, he delivers the PB&Js to those living on the streets of downtown Portland.

    Good for him. Let's hope the government doesn't shut him down.

    Oregon being a far-leftie state, he'll soon be stopped from doing this - because he hasn't got a food handler's license. The REAL reason of course, is because his efforts aren't controlled by the bureaucrats in charge, and they simply will not allow that to happen.
    I may be a bit crazy - but I didn't drive myself.

    Once the FDA hears of this, he will be shut down.[V]
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    Actually private enterprise may beat the government. Some enterprising attorney will recognize the situation, then interview the recipients of the sandwiches and find one that claims to have had an allergic reaction to the peanuts in the peanut butter. Then being a $$ driven ambulance chaser, he'll file suit against the city,state & federal govts for allowing such a horrible activity to take place- several million in punitive damages.

    They will shut him down and I watch the Grocery stores throw away tons of bread and pastry instead of it going to the needy. They are afraid someone will sue if they get sick and pure BS

    good work kid. The bad: he and his parents will probably have a lawsuit filed against them within the next couple months. Theyll get sued to fix someones teeth and pay their dental bill or some dumb s/-$
