“I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.” Maya Angelou
Hi to All,
Especially at the holidays, we find the time to remember that giving is the true gift. I want to express to the staff and families of Marina Bay and Bostonian, my sincere appreciation for participating in our annual Food Drive. Did you know that one in nine residents of Massachusetts is currently receiving food from a food pantry, soup kitchen, or shelter?
This year, Bostonian and Marina Bay contributed 549 lbs of food! That is 250 pounds more than last year. We were also again able to contribute $2,000 to the Greater Boston Food Bank. These funds will provide more than 3700 meals. Imagine, 3700 meals! At past holidays we have purchased gifts for area case management departments which were appreciated, but certainly not essential. Making a difference in the lives of those who are struggling, especially during these challenging times, is a privilege that I feel fortunate to have been granted.
“Everyone has a role in ending hunger” says the Greater Boston Food Bank. Enjoy your holidays and know that you have a made a difference!
