As noted a couple of weeks ago, my family and I decided to NOT exchange gifts with one another this holiday season and to NOT give some of our partners and friends gift baskets or little trinkets as holiday presents. Instead we decided to make a gift in their names to the D.C. Central Kitchen, an anti-hunger initiative that is doing truly great work here in Washington, DC. Click here to learn more about them. And don’t be shy about helping them as well this holiday season. Rather than being a consumerist, help the neediest in our city and your neighbors here in DC during the holidays.
That is my suggestion to everyone. At times like this, the neediest need help the most!
I accept your challenge and challenge all Richmond-area fans to check out the Central Virginia Food Bank website. You can donate online and have cards personalized for everyone on your gift list. I also learned a lot more about the organization itself; and there are so many more ways to help this non-profit than financial support. Get out there in the community, too.
