So if at this particular time of year things are tight for you . . . that's ok. Maybe by the 4th of July you can help someone in need and make a donation to a food pantry, volunteer at a shelter for humans or animals, walk to support cancer research, boat in support of Easter Seals. . . you get my point.

Happy Holidays
This is a time of year that gets a lot of "focus". The need however is all year long.

I would stress the volunteer part of your message. I believe everyone has at least a little time they can spend to help others.

And to stay on thread... I'll get a box of stuff to the Hells Angels!

This is a pretty good place to start.

Just type in your interests and a zip code. You'll be amazed at what YOU can do!
