Community Interest, Finding My Way Home

We ARE our Brother’s Keeper

This is the time of year when we are BUSY BUSY BUSY. We have holidays to plan! Meals to prepare! Shopping that must be done!

This also the time of year when the neediest among us need our help the most. As the weather turns colder and the nights become longer, many people who have no place to call “home” depend on the generosity of strangers to keep their hope alive.

Can you help?

I’ve compiled a list of some of the local charities that provide extensive support services in our community. Please visit their websites and include time for them in your holiday plans this year.

The card pictured above is one made by my family and me to send to family and friends. My husband pounded in the “snaps” at the top. Our children punched out the leaves and square decoration for the bottom corner. We all sat around our big dining room table one evening earlier this week and put them all together. It was messy, and rowdy, and noisy and made my eyes fill with tears that so many other people are struggling for just the basics. Each card mailed also had a list of local charities that need support. I hope my friends will join us this year in serving the neediest among us. One day, some day, with our help, these people will also find their way HOME.
