Lets Take Care of Our Community This Christmas.
Though we should always try to help those that are less fortunate that us, this is the time of year when their challenges are amplified. We all have the chance to affect the way people make it through the holidays for the better. When you pass the Salvation Army bell ringers with your grocery bags full, why not drop some change in? When you are in the store, could you grab a few staples for the food bank bin in the store? Maybe, for some of us who have more time, we could even commit some time to a local community group, helping with food and services for the dis-advantaged.
Please just try to remember that, no matter how concerned we might be for our own businesses and livelihoods, we are blessed with much, compared to some in our communities. We can do small things that will be large in impact to those with less.
We, at Foghorn Business Development Services make regular donations to the Friends In Need Food Bank in Maple Ridge, www.friendsneedfood.com. They do not get all the publicity of some the larger food banks in the Metro Vancouver area which means that they are often challenged to keep the shelves stocked. Because of this I ask that you find a food bank in your community and help them to help others.
For every person who makes a comment to this post between now and January 1, 2010, outlining their community service efforts, we will increase our donation amount to the Friends In Need food bank.
Please make some time to take care of your community and take even more care to make time for your family.
Merry Christmas from Foghorn Business Development Services.

Hey Rick, I drop a couple bucks (probably $50 in total) in the salvation army, union gospel mission and in the poppy collectors buckets each year but I truly believe that the support of mental health challenged individuals should be addressed by the provincial and federal bodies that allocate money and resources to help out and provide for those that are unable to do so for themselves. Donating blankets to the drug addicts on Hastings or providing safe (easier to maintain a dependant habit) injection sites is not the solution, it may mask the problem and make some people feel better briefly but it doesnt attack the base causal agent.
