This is the time of year when Laurie in the BLRC starts nagging us about
Foster Angels of Hillsborough County and handing out deadlines before we even celebrate Thanksgiving. In fact, before the turkey left overs are cold and another slice of pumpkin pie is indulged, she's on about Black Friday!
But not this year. Due to the conditions of Covid-19 collecting tags, presents and picking up is less than practical. So...No Tree This Year. However, I'm still going to nag you a little bit, because after Black Friday comes Cyber Monday, and after that...Giving Tuesday!
Perhaps you can hold back what you might have spent on a gift for a Foster Angel and make a direct donation. The link to the Foster Angels website is below. Just click on "How can you help?" You can also look at the list of locations and ask if any of those close to you are active this year.
As HCC employees we were able to work from home and continued to receive income. Whereas, many people in the community did with less or completely without. This time of year, which can be difficult for many, has become impossible. So, if not Foster Angels, please give to any program of your choice and have an impact in your community for the holidays, and beyond.
Many Thanks to all for your generosity
~Laurie
