Can one family of five, plus two grandparents, combine efforts and commit to one act of service each day, for one year? Paul, Patricia, twins Bianca & Olivia (age 18), Sophia (age 11), and their Nana and Buppa, plan to honor the 10 year anniversary of the loss of my sister with a year dedicated to service. Together, with maybe the help of a relative here or there, we will commit to 365 days of volunteering,contributing or supporting, in appreciation of what we have.... and who we have lost.

Day 115: Donation to the Food Pantry
Today, I decided to give a bag of miscellaneous foods to the Food Pantry basket at the rear of St. Jude Church. St. Jude's does not have its own "Food Pantry" but we have some volunteers in the parish who take the donations over to Sacred Heart Parish on Newton St. I have never been there, but was told there is a very long line of people that are "in need" and await their turn to receive some help with their weekly food needs. In this tough economical time, we decided to help out in this way today and be grateful that we have plenty to eat and can afford to share our foods with the less fortunate.
