Consider this year. . .

This is an article from today's Washington Post. Food banks are having shortfalls and increasing numbers of people applying for assistance. For some reason, this need really hit home with me.

As you think of Christmas coming up, consider making this a part of your holiday giving. Often I think of programs like toys for tots or angel tree. But even more important than gifts for children, is Christmas dinner for families. I know there are increasing numbers of people being affected by this morgage crisis and needing essential assistance like food banks to help get them through a rough patch.
