Look for the Helpers
Picture
The holiday season sees an uptick in our awareness of the plight of the folks who get by on minimal comforts, such as food and shelter. We, who are blessed, suddenly open our eyes to the needs of those less blessed and we make ourselves feel better by offering little bits of hope. This past week, we got to see this giving in action at Associated Charities, the Titusville Area Food Bank and Friends for Food.  Full story here.
