Flagler Broadcasting’s four radio stations, including flagship WNZF, hold a six-hour Food-A-Thon on July 8, and are raising money until then. The aim is to raise $200,000, which can then be leveraged into more than $1 million for Grace Community Food Pantry, the Palm Coast operation that serves between 3,500 and 4,500 needy families every week. The Food-A-Thon will ensure that each family will have the equivalent of $100 a week’s worth of groceries through at least the new year. To pledge or participate in the Million Dollar Food-A-Thon, send an email to [email protected], or make checks out to Grace Community Food Bank and send them to WNZF, 2405 E. Moody Blvd Bunnell, FL. 32110. Donations and pledges are being accepted now through July 8, or send in your pledge by downloading the form.

Notably: The great Polish poet Czeslaw Milosz was born on this day in 2011, defected to France in 1951, won the Nobel Prize in 1980, died in 2004, and was quoted as saying this, in Blake Bailey’s biography of Philip Roth: “When a writer is born into a family, the family is finished.” Karl Ove Knausgaard’s family can attest to that: “On the whole,” he wrote in Winter, his season quartet that followed My Struggle, “the way our mess spreads out is not unlike the way snow distributes itself in the forest, in some places piling up against tree trunks, in others lying in deep drifts, and in others again spreading out in rather thin layers. But mess is not a meaningful concept when applied to nature, regardless of how wildly a thicket grows or how many trees a storm has toppled or a forest fire has charred, and this is so because nature doesn’t have two levels, one ideal and one real, but only exists on one level, the level of the real. A household or a family, on the other hand, exists in the real and aspires towards the ideal. All tragedies arise out of this duality, but also all triumphs.” But to get back to Milosz. Here’s something you wont see often: an interview between Wallace Stegner and Milosz. And so…

Love means to learn to look at yourself
The way one looks at distant things
For you are only one thing among many.
And whoever sees that way heals his heart,
Without knowing it, from various ills—
A bird and a tree say to him: Friend.
Then he wants to use himself and things
So that they stand in the glow of ripeness.
It doesn’t matter whether he knows what he serves:
Who serves best doesn’t always understand.
–“Love,” by Czeslaw Milosz.
