Sometimes life can become overwhelming. There are so many people who need help, but where do we even being?
When I think about ways to show my gratitude and of helping others, I think about the quote from Mother Teresa. I might not be able to feed every adult and child who are hungry today, but with your help, we can help feed some of them.
We can create a ripple effect. Someone in the next town will see what we doing, and they will start their own food or clothing drive... and then someone in the next town, and the town after that. Pretty soon, millions of people who needed support during a tough time in their lives will nd it. Hopefully, they can pay it forward when they have the means to do so.
Gratitude causes ripples, and ripples cause change. Let’s create some ripples this month for people who can use our help. Here are the details:
What: Thanksgiving Food Drive for St. Vincent de Paul food pantry.
Where: Our Lady of Perpetual Help Lindenhurst.
When: The month of October. All donations must be in by Saturday, November 2nd.
More: We will collect nonperishable items for Thanksgiving dinners at JoAnn Cilla Real Estate, 203 E Montauk Hwy, Lindenhurst NY 11757 on the following days:
• Mondays 3pm-5pm
• Wednesdays 12pm-2pm
• Fridays 11am-1pm
• Saturdays 9:30am-12pm
If you can’t drop off at these times or need us to pick up your donation, please call me at 631-539-6000. I am grateful for your help, JoAnn
