As I look forward to a few days off to spend with family and friends, I can’t help but think of those people who are homeless, cold, alone. Need does not take a vacation during the holidays.
This Thanksgiving I participated with the Meals on Wheels program here in Buffalo, NY. I was impressed with how well run it was as well as the enthusiasm and dedication of the group of volunteers who braved frigid tempteratures to make sure that those who were in need did not go without.
I am sure you are bombarded by many worthy charities at this time of year all hoping for your generosity.
This is a small effort, my personal one, to make a difference and give a little back in this season of gratitude and plenty for many of us.
Thank you for your support and Happy Holidays.
Needs certainly do not take a vacation over the Christmas Holidays but, what so many people seem to forget, is that poverty and despair are not limited to Christmas either! Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all those people who give freely prior to Christmas, continued that giving spirit throughout the new year? 🙂
