Congratulations for making it through the previous year. You’re all winners in this amazing race TRUST ME!
One thing that I hold dearly and love to do as a hobby is helping out my community. I make the effort to give my time and resources.
I volunteered during church health clinic where in a church provided free health tests, donations, and seminars for different groups in my community.
On December 31, 2011, I was involved in a program called Feeding the Community held by my local church.
An anonymous individual had donated a thousand dollars for us to do this. Although we had a limited amount of money for a limited number, we decided that we would bless some families in the working class.
These were the individuals who didn’t belong to shelters, but struggled all the same. We passed out Publix gift cards to these families. An influencing factor to our decision was the story of a mother who shot herself and her two children after she lost her job and was denied food stamps by the government.
I realized that most people forget that group.
I really enjoyed what I did and made that I brought friends and family to share this experience.
That is a very sad story about the women, it's great that you spent your time on a special holiday to help people who need help too besides the homeless.

ReplyDeleteIt's always a plus to give back to the community through church. Sometimes those you help may (if they don't already) find god. Good job on donating you're own time to helping others, nice blog
