I just got this email from a friend of mine:Hey there everyone! Happy Thanksgiving! I don't know about you, but I know that our family has a lot to be thankful for this year, as everyday. We just came back from spending a few hours at our local homeless shelter...The Poverello Center
Great opportunity. Anyway...for those of you that are in Missoula they could use a few other things for the big turkey day...
10 Large Cans of the French's type fried onions (for green bean casserole)
24 Large Cans of Cream of Mushroom Soup
Butter or Margarine
Marshmallows
Brown Sugar
Also...although they said some folks said they'd bring in pies...but they hardly had any today. So they could use some of those. What ever kind you want would be nice. It reminded me that we used to do a pretty regular Holiday fundraising drive here for a charity helping people in need this time of year.
I thought it time to bring that back, so

That contribution page isn't updating with custom images or text, so it's ugly. But that's OK. It doesn't need to be pretty. It needs to be a place where you can send $10, $25, or $50 to help some folks need. $10 covers a bunch of meals down there. $50 probably provides security for most of an evening so the guys sleeping at the downtown facility have not just a warm and dry place to stay, but a safe one, too.
I've set a goal of $500, but I'm hoping we can do better than that. I'll seed it with $25. But if we can hit that $500 goal, I'll kick in another $50 next month.
