This week's Good person/hero of the week is a Manchester, New Hampshire police officer who changed a bad situation and made it into a good one for a young man who stole some goods from a store (turns out the kid was hungry). The officer took care of him. Here's the story>

Someone recently shared a very positive Facebook post with us concerning one of our police officers. We were so pleased to hear about his kind deed we decided to share it as well and give him some well deserved recognition.
Officer George Morales was working a detail at Market Basket on Elm St when he saw a young man with a backpack leave the store in a hurry without purchasing anything. He stopped the man and found that he had some unpaid food in his bag. There was no alcohol or any other items that would be indicative of criminal activities. Rather than charge him with a crime, he pulled out his debit card.
"It was then apparent to me, this was just a young person going through hard times. He was just hungry," says Officer Morales. "I then offered to purchase the items of food for him, I asked him to please apologize to the store manager. He then began to cry, and agreed. The store manager was satisfied with the resolution, and we then parted ways on good terms."
We hope this selfless act made a difference in this young man's life. Thank you Officer Morales, great work!
