Help is needed

Have you ever needed a little help? For most of us it is embarrassing, humiliating, humbling to NEED help. It forces most to do things that they wouldn't normally do under normal circumstances. Unfortunately we are hosting, in our community, a large number of folks who NEED help. They can't afford groceries, toiletries, diapers. Without places like the Food Pantry of Waukesha County, what would they do? What would YOU do? Resources low, kids hungry, credit exhausted?
Well... I am a true believer in what goes around, comes around. You reap what you sow. Are we investing in our communities or contributing to the despair of others?
Now in case you are wondering, and for those of you who know me well, I'm not a believer in enabling unhealthy lifestyles. I.e.: give a drunk cash for his/her next bottle. Instead, I truly subscribe to healthy accountability. Sometimes, however, our very basic needs need to be met before ANY help can be received. Not a single one of us is beyond hard times, especially in today's economy. Besides, it's easy to help. Really.

I am asking if you would you consider hosting a food/diaper drive in your neighborhood or place of employment? I've done this and it's really a no sweat way to help out others. The Food Pantry of Waukesha County makes it even easier by offering free downloads and assistance to help get you started.

Oh, and did I mention that since The Food Pantry is a non-profit, you can get a donation form for your taxes???
