As the Chair of a non-profit that helps disadvantaged & vulnerable people in our community, our amazing volunteers distributed 4000 masks & 350 meals/week this year.
In a small town, funding isn’t as easy to come by and many social programs don’t exist. We had just enough to get us through the holidays but our efforts wouldn’t be able to continue past Jan 1
But the town gathered together and I got word yesterday that we’ll be able to continue our efforts into the spring thanks to the generous donations of time, resources, food, and money.
These simple efforts mean, not only did I get everything I wanted for Christmas, but so many others will get everything they need long into 2021. Now that’s a network effect I can get behind. Happy holidays everyone!
