It’s the caring that counts

Sat., Dec. 31, 2011

It’s really nice to see all the donations for a good cause. The money that is donated out of state is a welcome thought, too. There are a lot of people that have nothing and this program through The Spokesman-Review is a warm and caring program.

I try to never miss a kettle from the Salvation Army when I’m out and about shopping. There are a lot of different ways to help people. These programs I hope keep up the good they are doing for our people.

Thank you, S-R.
