Giving Thanks

many people get to enjoy thanks giving now..
there are lots of soup kitchens, now that serve,,
we have Martha's table, and the friendship room,
the Sally Anne  always has food to give to people who
cant make ends meet..
I tell you its just the unemployed either, where there were two incomes, and now there is one..
people of all kinds have it hard..
its tough for lots of us out there..
So if you check the papers, if you have a computer, and of course the local churches always give a hand..
the Sally Anne is one of the best examples, they have thrift stores..buy one get one..
I will give them a plug: Oct.13th to 19th all sweaters and coats 25% off
Oct 27th to Nov.2nd 25%off cds, books,games
On Oct 22nd here in Kingston they are having a silent auction and Dessert evening..there is over 150 items it cost $7.00..
there is the freedom ministries,harbour lights,the gathering place..
all will feed you one way or another..
they are there for all kinds of support
No matter where you live..there is an Army sign near you..
they desperately need helping hands..
if you can give an hour of your time, do it..you just have no idea how it makes
all of you feel..because, no matter how badly you think you are..
there is somebody around the corner..thats worse off..
the next thing that will be coming up will be the food hampers for Chritmas..
there is the santa shuffle..this is great for all thiose out there
that love running or walking..you will be doing more than just you a good thing..
go to the http://www.santashuffle.com/
its happening in kingston,I'll be there, Peterborough, Barrie,and Ottawa..
so come  runners..I know your out there..do it for them..
you dont have to run..you can be someone who stands on the side lines and takes the donations..
let me know how you do..I'll be here to let you know how it goes at my end...

  1. no matter what is going on with us today.. standing in line for a voucher, or a hamper..
    can happen to the best of us.. its nothing to be ashamed of..because it can happen..I know your thinking no way, hopefully not..but it can happen to anyone..it doesnt choose you because of what you look like, or where you live,
    beleive me it can happen..
    so while you can, give to the salvation army, or your nearest food bank..any thing can help..
    remember, food banks were meant to be a temperary thing..
    well now there are so many cropping up..and they dont just feed the 20 people they used to..some of them feed thousands of people in your neighbourhood.. so when you can be generous..
