Making the load a little lighter...

"In life you can never be too kind or too fair; everyone you meet is carrying a heavy load."--Brian Tracy

Today this quote really spoke volumes to me. This morning watching the local news, I heard about Gleaners Community Foodbank's double donations campaign. Some outstanding individuals and companies are doubling all donations made to them today (11/30). If you've got a minute, check out the website and if you're able, make a donation...even a dollar goes a long way! www.gcfb.org. Gleaners supplies food to charitable organizations large and small who in turn give it to those who could use a little help right now. I've had the honor of meeting many of those who work at Gleaners. They are compassionate and caring... and they work very hard to make it an extremely well run organization.

Whether you're here in Michigan or not, there's a good chance you or someone you know is being negatively affected by the poor economy. It does indeed make the load a little heavier--perhaps even more so during the holiday season. When we come out of this--and we will--hopefully we are better people for it. But many can use a little help in the meantime. God Bless the people at Gleaners for making the load lighter for so many.
