Help Out If You Can

There are many families out there this holiday season that need our help. There are several toy drives going to make sure that children get gifts on Christmas morning. I love to see those drives be successful in fulfilling kids' wishes and dreams during the holidays. It really warms my heart. The Monkey Do Project also needs your help this holiday season. Here is a post about one way that we can all help their efforts. Many times the emphasis is put on toys and gifts for others during the holidays because a lot of times, that's what our minds and hearts first go ot. However, more than toys and gifts, a lot of times, people just want a nice, warm meal for their families. We talk about the Christmas cookies and all the fancy meals that we are having for our families. There are families who are wishing for a meal. That is sad to think about so I want to try to help get the word out that the Monkey Do Project is rasiing funds to give families in Appalachia just that, a warm meal to celebrate the holidays. Open your hearts to maybe provide one family a meal this Christmas by stopping over at the Monkey Do Project, here is the link to that post again. Thank you.

Monkey Do Project



 



I came across this organization through a group I am in on Facebook.  It is called the Monkey Do Project.  This is from their site:

 

The mission of The Monkey Do Project is simple:

The Monkey Do Project works to assist the most distressed areas of the Appalachian region by feeding the entire being: physical, spiritual and emotional. We are a nonprofit project that will donate the time and items needed to meet those basic physical, emotional and spiritual needs. We strive to be an ongoing “outreach” for the Appalachian community, and help plant seeds of growth and change within the community—homes, schools, churches and businesses. 

 

This organization relies on donations from all over the country to help those that need it.  What a great thing they are doing to change lives!

 

I am always trying to teach my kids about helping others when we can.  That there are people with less than what we have and if we can help them, we will.  We make donations to several organizations and I am happy to add Monkey Do Project to that list. 

 

You can see their ongoing donation needs list here.

 

 

This holiday season, as we all struggle to get our shopping lists done and the gifts wrapped, stop for a minute to think about those that are struggling to keep warm or struggling to have basic necessities for their families. Please help, if you can.
