Need is closer than you think

Every year around this time we receive many from people wanting to help. Offers of collection drives, gift baskets, dinners and of giving time. The spirit of the season is alive and well.

Call your local elementary school. You are guaranteed to find a family that could use some help. Seriously, what about your neighbors? No one wants to think that need could be one door away but its happening.

If time is what you want to give, visit the website of Hands On Greater Portland. They have opportunities up the wa-zoo, including projects for the whole family.

You simply don't have to go far to find ways to help. In fact, need is closer than you think.
