Ways To Help The Hungry During The Holidays
With the holidays around the corner it is easy to get swept up in the hustle of prepping, shopping, and entertaining. In the spirit of giving and sharing this season, there are plenty of ways to help those less fortunate so that they too can enjoy a holiday meal.
