Share Your Tips and Ways of Helping Others

In our blessed land of abundance, most of us have plenty to share with others on a regular basis. We’d like to exchange ideas for helping others in need. I’ll share two things we do, only to encourage you to tell us how you help. Give us ideas of things that we could be doing weekly or monthly to assist others in time of need.

~ Instead of selling the clothes we don’t wear any more we pass them along to young families with children or donate them to a girl’s home, or a single parent family, etc.

~ Save the thick plastic bags with zippers that new bedspreads, sheets, etc. come in and fill with sample size toiletries to donate. We bring home the unused shampoo and soaps from our stays in hotels. We store them in one of the zipper bags. Once the bag is filled we donate it to missionaries going to poor regions of Mexico or donate them to a women’s crisis home (safe house).

Now it’s your turn to share some resourceful, creative and ever so practical ways that you give to others regularly, please. Giving also includes your time and talents, of course!

If you notice a hole in the upper left-hand corner of your Farmers' Almanac, don't return it to the store! That hole isn't a defect; it's a part of history. Starting with the first edition of the Farmers' Almanac in 1818, readers used to nail holes into the corners to hang it up in their homes, barns, and outhouses (to provide both reading material and toilet paper). In 1910, the Almanac's publishers began pre-drilling holes in the corners to make it even easier for readers to keep all of that invaluable information (and paper) handy.
