SPREADING HOLIDAY CHEER
GIVE the BELL RINGER a BEVERAGE
Bell ringers collecting donations in the kettles this time of year do not have it easy. There they stand outside a store or on a corner ringing the bell for hours at a time. People walk right past them. They act as if the ringer is invisible. I usually throw in money on my way out of the store. These days the ringers have a hard time collecting donations. Many use debit cards at the stores and don’t carry cash. I know I’m one who does so. What I generally have are a few one dollar bills in my pocket or carry a few quarters in my pocket this time of year.
In cold weather; warm weather in Florida; there they stand day after day hoping to collect a few dollars for charity. A nice gesture is to bring them a hot beverage or a cold one (depending on the weather in your area). Don’t walk by without throwing a few coins in the kettle. Each coin adds up and helps.
Until tomorrow....I’ll be dropping in my coins today.
Tomorrow....deliver some snacks to your local veteran’s canteen.
