Matt Tribe originally brought Olive Garden's "Never Ending Pasta Pass" because he loved pasta. But when the certificate finally came, he realized he couldn't possibly eat that much pasta and made other surprising plans.
Tribe decided to use the pass, which entitles the person to unlimited pasta for seven weeks, to help feed others. He called his generous endeavor "Random Acts Of Pasta." Over the promotional period, he ordered take out and then delivered the pasta to unsuspecting individuals and strangers. After seven weeks, 125 people got pasta. He started with his family and then the UPS man, before searching for homeless people to feed.
He wrote a blog about the experience: "I was cruising around looking for someone homeless that I could give some pasta to. I finally found one sleeping in a park. I debated on whether or not it would be a good idea to wake her up, but in the end I decided to do it. I approached her and asked if she was hungry and would like some Olive Garden. She thanked me for the pasta and said she was going to share it with her friends.
"First of all, the initial thought of someone who has nothing was to share it with someone else–that's pretty incredible. I asked where her friends were and she said behind that wall and motioned in the direction of a large wall. I walked over there and peeked around the corner and saw several people there. I went back to the car and got a few more bags of pasta and took it on over to them. I'm still blown away that the first thought of the lady receiving the pasta was to share with her friends."
