The Season of Giving

So often around the holidays, everyone gives to the needy. You hear of friends and family volunteering at food banks, donating money to charities, and participating in toy drives. There are so many other giving opportunities in November-December time frames, but what happens to those people in need the other ninety percent of the year? All the people who give around the most wonderful time of the year forget all about them, they simply check off a box for doing a good deed once a year.
This post isn't going to be very long, just brief reminder that there are people all over the world who need help. Daily. Not just for the gift giving holidays. Reach out in your local community to help those in need. And don't worry, I'm practicing what I preach. I've got a bag of food to be donated to one of eighty five families in need in my area. It cost about seven U.S. dollars for me to do, and I can give a family, maybe even one with children, food for a week.
Just give it a try. You never know, maybe it's your calling to help people and this is the first step you take in fulfilling your ultimate destiny. Even if you only do it once, that's a life you changed. Make a difference in this world we live in.
Good luck to all of you, and please comment something that you've done/did to remember those in need. Because it's always the season of giving.

Live long and prosper.
