With the way things are going now, there will be more people( mostly children) that will go hungry tonight. At Food Lion at the registers they have can/box food you can buy and they put in in a huge box to give to the food banks. I will be standing in line watching people, the cashier asks if they want to donate to the food bank. You would not believe that these people will not even buy a can of food to the food bank.
I have been in only one time that I have not bought something to donate. Sure things are tight at my house but I feel like I can give a couple cans or a couple food items to help out. I hope that if I ever need the help from the food bank I could get it. But no one can get help if people like us don't donate. I'm no saint, but if I see someone and they ask me for money I try to give them a couple of bucks. I know there are scams ran everyday, but you never know when that someone that really needs it asks for your help...so I give, hoping that the person that asks for it really needs it.
People need to help out more, we need to help someone when they put their hand out. This year I want to open my home at Christmas and invite a couple of military personal that don't have any family around here to share the day with us. It may not be much, but, to me it's a start to put my hand out to help someone else.

sounds like a good thing to do for our soldiers...
people with money should be helping those without..
I think so too. I don't have alot of money with just my husband working, but I do try to donate when and where I can.
