When Phoebe Russell set out to tackle her preschool teacher's assignment to perform a community service project, she set herself a goal she called "really big." It was so big, in fact, that Kathleen Albert, her teacher at With Care Preschool, had to explain that raising $1,000 for the San Francisco Food Bank by collecting and redeeming cans "might be a bit ambitious for a five-year-old."

But Phoebe — in the way that awesome kids do — plowed ahead with her plans. She was determined to help people who needed food. When she called the food bank to ask whether her idea could work, they told her that $1,000 could help feed thousands.
