Wow, did you know tomorrow is National Babysitters Day? It's also Miniature Golf Day, Lost Sock Memorial Day and Stay Up All Night Day (waking lost socks, presumably).
It's also my favorite holiday, one that really is about giving, and caring and making the world, or a least a few people's world, a better joint.
Tomorrow, Saturday, May 9, is the 23rd annual National Letter Carriers Food Drive, when your friendly postal pals will come to your house and pick up your sealed, non-perishable food items and deliver them to your local food bank, community pantry or feeding center.
Helping the nearly fifty million food-insecure Americans (many of whom you may know, though they might not let on) couldn't be easier unless you could reach right through your computer screen and give to your food bank from your chair (which is also an option).
The NALC food drive is about the easiest, most effective way for YOU to make a difference in the lives of your fellow citizens who don't have enough to eat. So, get up now, grab a bag, go to the pantry and help stock your community kitchen. Now. We both know you'll forget later, so just take care of it now and put the bag by the door so you'll remember tomorrow.
Thanks. Your chow can make someone's day. So do it.
