Helping Out At Christmas

What are you doing to help out in your community this holiday season?

James Howe wrote a great post today about Jodi Sonoda and some of the things she is doing this year. You can read it here.

My family has a yearly tradition of helping out the local foodbank packaging up toys for kids that won't see presents under the tree without their assistance. It is always humbling and helps us put things into perspective, specially with our own kids.

I know from talking to them the nights are almost full (which is a great problem to have). If you want to get involved and have some time give them a call.

Open to all ages but children must be supervised at all times by parent.
