I am one of those 5.7 million people who have received emergency food assistance in the past year, but still find that I have more than many in this world. That video is the same one you just posted and it brought tears to my eyes- especially this time of year when you encounter so many people caught up in the hustle and bustle of the holidays. I am far from perfect, but am always looking for ways to give back; your list is a great resource and very inspiring. I know you reach a lot of people, thank you.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09800993491183208527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15337568.post-54733145146122240982010-12-11T12:17:02.086-08:002010-12-11T12:17:02.086-08:00Great Ideas.

We got a holiday card from her...she's made it her goal to collect 100 blankets for San Diego's homeless, and she's started by buying 25 of them herself. She asked us, her clients, to donate $5 or a blanket. I LOVE THAT.Jane LaFaziohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09074665972666629110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15337568.post-40370317675133566452010-12-11T07:21:24.655-08:002010-12-11T07:21:24.655-08:00Amen!

The school my kids attend is community service oriented so there are always opportunities for giving and I give to all. The HS homerooms adopt a worker and tomorrow I will be buying winter supplies. Our Elementary PE teacher is going to Uganda over the Christmas break where her parents are volunteering -- I donated money and clothes that my kids no longer need. I am also donating clothes from me and my husband to Operation Hope. I fix a bag lunch for the street worker in our area. I do all this, and yet I am always looking for ways to do more. More folks need to look beyond their own backyard and realize they have it good. Everyone should take every opportunity to give back big! Wishing you a happy holiday season.

When we talked about what was bothering him it was almost your exact sentiments. He was tired of hearing around him about what the kids wanted, needed, had to have. He was disappointed in the commercialism and how people forget that many don't have a "Christmas" in the material sense. Together, him and I, are trying to help in our small ways wherever possible.

This year I made a huge move....from Corona del Mar, CAlifornia to Denver Colorado. So many of my family and friends joined in to help get me here.....body and soul. I have focused on giving back to them for their support but you have reminded and encouraged me to go beyond those I know and to give to those I have never seen or met.<br />Thank youDenisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09951939740601652672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15337568.post-6891008037625869532010-12-11T06:11:10.020-08:002010-12-11T06:11:10.020-08:00Thank you for all that you have given to those of ...Thank you for all that you have given to those of us who follow your blog.
