‘Tis the season to help thy neighbors
The weather outside is anything but frightful of late. Unseasonably warm temperatures coupled with bright sunshine have made it feel nothing like a normal Upper Peninsula November. But it’s November and that means it’s time for U.P. residents to pitch in to help their neighbors who might be in distress in these uncertain economic times. The most practical way to do that is to support efforts to provide food for those suffering from hunger. Hunger knows no season, but when winter sets in, the need for one of life’s basics — sustenance — become truly a matter of survival. The weather seems like early autumn however one cannot help but hear the bells are ringing already. That means The Salvation Army has started its kettle campaign, with funds there going to help those in need in so many ways. That organization and the St. Vincent de Paul Society certainly can use the support of those financially able to give. That’s true year-round, but especially as the holidays approach.
