Giving back is something I try to do, but need to do more. Unfortunately, I haven't been as good about it the past few years.

Linda,

What a wonderful idea and a post like this gives inspiration to others to give back!  Thank you for sharing.

This year my just husband decided to give 5 turkeys to families in need on his own.  Our daughter's BFF works for a social service group in Flagstaff, AZ called "Meet Me Where I Am" and he asked her to identify families in need of Thanksgiving dinner help.  She and my husband met at the store and organized Trader Joe's recycle bags to carry the turkeys and a box of pumpkin bread mix and she took them off to share a little Thanksgiving love with some community members... He wants to get ten $50 bills at Christmas and just hand them out to random people in the store one day.... I think he has the spirit of giving in his heart this year, it could become contagious so watch out.

Thanks again for sharing what you are doing in North Carolina and we will feature your shining example in the Cosmic Cow Pie!  You are showing us the way!    

The angel tree is the right way to go!
