The holiday season... it is the "most wonderful time of the year" afterall, isn't it? For most it is. It's about beautiful lights and decorations, wonderful gifts wrapped in golden bows, and a time to celebrate the season with family.
But for some, it's one of the most difficult times of the year. That's what we're here for, to help relieve some of the burden these families face.
We're excited to help one special family in particular. We were introduced to an amazing lady who is doing everything she can to support not only her own children, but her grandchildren while their mother battles with an addiction. She stays strong as acts as if her health is not ailing her, even though she is struggling with the debilitating affects of MS. And while the kids are in school, she volunteers at the food bank and blesses the lives of everyone she meets. She truly has a heart of gold.
Their needs are simple and we want to make sure that everything is delivered no later than this Saturday, December 21st so that she has enough time to get it all wrapped for Christmas. Drop offs can take place at:

Instead of packages, ribbons, and bows, lets wrap Christmas up with LOVE and SERVICE to others! Please help me by completing an act of service to someone in need. Involve family, friends, school, and church groups. Email or mail me your service stories or any ideas on how to serve and I will post them to my blog. Can't wait to hear from you and add your story to mine! LOVE YOU ALL!!!
