In 2020, William Cabaniss was only 14 years old. He noticed that some of his classmates often skipped meals because they didn't have enough food at home. He felt sad and decided to 36 something to help them.
William loved baking as a hobby. One day, while making cakes, he added vanilla extract(香草精) and suddenly thought, “Why not 37 my own vanilla extract instead of buying it?” He then had a bigger idea — he could sell it and give all the money to a food bank.
He quickly started working on his 38. He made bottles of vanilla using his own recipe during his free time. He also 39 a logo and built a website to promote(推广) his small business.
Soon, William invited others to join him. Many people were moved by his kindness and 40 to help. With their support, his small project grew into a non-profit organization called “Vanilla Feeds Tomorrow”.
Every bottle of vanilla extract is sold for $30, and each sale can provide about 41 for people in need. So far, the organization has raised over $200,000. All the money goes to Second Harvest Food Bank — an organization that 42 many counties and helps thousands of families.
William said, “I 43 them because they have distribution(配送) centers and food storage rooms in so many places. Their reach is truly amazing. I want every dollar to 44 as far as possible.”
He believes no one should go to bed hungry. “No one should have to worry about 45 their next meal's coming from,” he said.
What started as a simple baking idea turned into a meaningful 46 to fight hunger. William's story teaches us that even young people can make a big 47 if they take action.
Many students now look up to him as a role model. His 48 shows that kindness and creativity can change lives.
If you want to help others but don't know where to start, think like William: begin with what you 49 — maybe cooking, drawing, or even writing — and turn it into a way to give back.

2020年,威廉·卡巴尼斯只有14岁。他注意到,自己的一些同学经常因为家里食物不够而不吃正餐。他感到很难过,于是决定做些事情来帮助他们。
烘焙是威廉的爱好。一天,他在做蛋糕时加了香草精,突然想到:“为什么不自己制作香草精,而不是去买呢?”接着他又有了一个更大的想法——他可以把香草精卖掉,把所有的钱捐给食物银行。
他立刻开始推进自己的计划。空闲时间里,他用自己的配方制作一瓶瓶香草精,还设计了一个标志,并搭建了一个网站来推广自己的小生意。
很快,威廉邀请其他人加入。很多人被他的善意打动,同意帮忙。在大家的支持下,他的小项目发展成了一个名为“香草滋养明天”的非营利组织。
每瓶香草精售价30美元,每卖出一瓶,就能为有需要的人提供约42顿餐食。到目前为止,该组织已经筹集了超过20万美元。所有的钱都捐给了“第二丰收食物银行”——这个组织服务多个县,帮助了数千个家庭。
威廉说:“我选择和他们合作,是因为他们在很多地方都有配送中心和食品储藏室。他们的覆盖范围真的很了不起。我希望每一分钱都能发挥最大的价值。”
他认为,任何人都不该饿着肚子上床睡觉。“没有人应该为下一顿饭从哪里来而发愁。”他说。
这个始于烘焙的简单想法,最终变成了一场对抗饥饿的有意义的行动。威廉的故事告诉我们:年轻人只要行动起来,就能带来巨大的改变。
如今许多学生都把他视作榜样。他的故事证明,善意和创造力可以改变生活。
如果你想帮助别人却不知道从何开始,就学学威廉吧:从你热爱的事情做起——也许是烹饪、画画,甚至写作——然后把它变成回馈社会的方式。
记住:小小的行动,只要用心去做,就能带来巨大的改变。
