As I was getting my daughter ready this morning to go to school..."Mommy's Day out." She is not yet 3 years old. Something came up that I was curious about.
They are having their School version of Thanksgiving today, since they attend only Tuesday's and Thursdays. The school / church requested canned goods for their canned goods drive.
I'm sure I have thought of this before, but I don't recall. Why is it that there seems to only be canned good drives, present offerings, Angel Tree donations, or you name it...around the Holidays?
What do the folks that need these items do the other 10 months of the year?
Am I alone in this thought?
I know there are year-round offerings and stuff, as I have been involved with them. My question is this. Why is there only a strong push for "helping" around the Holidays?
Is it because we are "giving people" only around that time? We get too busy the rest of the time?
I know many people offer help and assistance all year long, it just seems that there is a mass marketing effort to "help out" only this time of year or for major natural disasters.
Just a question that popped in my head today?
What are your thoughts?
