Soon, we will be celebrating Thanksgiving, which marks the beginning of the time of giving. One way or another, we all thank our creator whatever our beliefs.
Within a few days, families are planning on meeting to celebrate Thanksgiving, according to our traditions with a great meal, which will certainly include the traditional turkey on the menu although depending on their nationality, we are sure that someone will add some typical dish of their kitchen.
While doing so, we urge you to think about the efforts that various organizations are making to help the less fortunate. Traditionally, organizations such as Bread and Roses, Cor Unum, Daybreak Shelter, Food for the World, Lazarus House, Neighbors in Need, Salvation Army, Merrimack Valley United Way and others, conduct food distributions to thousands of needy families, but they all depend on the benevolence of people willing to donate so that those less fortunate can have a decent meal that day and the next.
It is very true that money is not very abundant for many these days and it is also true that it is not money that these organizations are most in need of, but of help.
All of them are in need of volunteers. If you have the time and want to give your neighbors something of value, let’s keep our hearts open and give them your time. And be generous!
