Heartfelt thanks go out to donors in our caring and generous community.
Recently, I had the opportunity to witness organizations and individuals make desperately needed donations to assist the homeless and hungry in Harrisburg. Yes, traditional contributions of turkeys and other food items flowed in to provide a holiday tradition to those who need a helping hand, a hot meal, and an opportunity to escape from the elements. What I witnessed, was just not aimed at a Thanksgiving celebration.
For those who cannot obtain a bed at our overnight shelter which opened on Dec. 1, these items will help those who have to spend the night on the streets with some comfort. Donors of these items do not seek recognition or reward. Organizations and individuals do not want a press release, a tax deduction, or other reward for their contributions. They are members of our community who have large hearts and empathy for the less fortunate. They are extremely generous in their efforts to provide not just a Thanksgiving meal, but life sustaining warmth for the winter.
As a 68-year resident of Harrisburg, I am in awe of how many in our community collectively care for those who do not have a place to call home. On behalf of the Board of Directors of Downtown Daily Bread and other organizations that similarly serve the homeless and hungry in Harrisburg, my heartfelt thanks go out to donors in our caring and generous community.If you purchase a product or register for an account through one of the links on our site, we may receive compensation.
