Over the years, I have noticed that Realtors as a whole are among the top in giving to community and those in need. Our industry taking the huge hit the last 18 months has actually put many of our Realtors friends and colleagues into that "I need help" category. So this post goes out to those that are still making it as well as those that are struggling through this economy.
I have always been involved in charity work, no matter what business I have been in. I have always believed in giving back to community and those in need, of course, in these times I feel even more strongly that it is an important thing to do. Strengthening the family has got to be a top priority for most people this Christmas Season.
Angel Food Ministeries is an organization that has been distributing quality, healthy food to anyone who can afford the $30 to buy the basic box. Their saying of "If you eat, You qualify" has held true since their inception. The First Church of God of Middle River is the local host site for distribution which occured just last Saturday for the month of November 2008. Click on the picture to see video of the day! (Heres the story about Distribution Day)
This post is not about the great things that are happening at the church or with Angel Food, but with the mission that we as a church have taken on.
Angel Food has put together a "Christmas Box" of food that will give a family of 4 a nice meal for Christmas. The box comes at a cost of $35, which many people are purchasing, but with so many families in need (Our current needs list of families and seniors is over 175 in the community) we want to supply as many of the Christmas Boxes, or $30 basic boxes, possible at no charge to them.
This is a lofty goal, for a small congregation, in these troubling times but we have faith. It is our determination to do what we can to make everyones Christmas a little brighter. If you can help, in any way, I urge you to contact Pastor Scott Grogg at 410-391-2555 or myself at 443-912-4866.
Like most, my income took a nose dive this year, but I am still committed to this cause and helping with everything I can. Please take a moment to read about Novembers distribution day and the stories of those that came and gave.
Thank you
