“We Are Touched By Your Kindness, Please Continue To Leave Snacks For Us, Your Beloved Essential Workers,” Announce Local Raccoons

Life during Covid-19 has forced virtually everybody to face previously unimaginable hardships. And yet, humanity is rising to the occasion by meeting adversity head-on with acts of kindness and generosity. One such act that has proliferated on doorsteps all across the country is leaving snacks out for postal workers and delivery drivers.⁣

“It’s a true blessing when a house sets snacks out for us essential workers,” said three-year-old raccoon Elvis Pennywhistle. “With so many restaurants closing, it’s been hard to scavenge enough dumpster scraps for me and my family. Humans sure are thoughtful.“⁣

One such thoughtful human is Westmoreland resident Beth Ronson, who lives a block away from the Pennywhistle den. “I used to keep my box of snacks covered, but nobody took anything! The poor Amazon workers were in such a hurry that they couldn’t even take the time to remove the lid. Ever since I stopped covering it my snacks have been a hit – those workers must be so hungry, they just rip open the packaging with their teeth!“⁣
