A homeless man in Washington State found a bag with $17,000 inside of it. Instead of keeping it though, he handed it over to a food bank. 

Kevin Booth has been coming to Summer Food Bank for the last five years. Anita Miller, who is staffed there, says that he found the bag of money on their front doorstep. She sas that he just "leaned over, picked it up, looked in it and he knew it was money. He waited for our person who comes in at 7:30 in the morning, He waited for her, gave it to her and said somebody left this for you."

The volunteer staff at the food bank called the police. Police held the money for 90 days and since no one came to claim it, the food bank was allowed to keep it. 

Miller says that all the money will be used to expand the building so that they can provide more service.
