So the other day I did something I had never done before.....Steph and I spent a day at the West Central Ohio Foodbank volunteering so we could get free Disney tickets as part of their give a day get a day promotion. Now while we originally did it to get something, I think what I got was even more worth it than just tickets to a theme park. It really gave me a new appreciation for life and how people not as fortunate as I have been in my life get the things they need. I'm proud to say that the whole time we were there that we busted our ass to get boxes loaded up that are handed out to needy people. We got 247 boxes loaded up with green beans, corn, noodles, juices, and canned goods.
I really enjoyed doing it to be honest, and will try to set aside some time down the road to do it just for the heck of it, because it does make a difference.....both for me, and for the people who need it most. I implore all of you to spend a day volunteering your time or at least give some money to this fine organization. They operate strictly on volunteer help, and need any kind of help they can get to keep helping people that need it.

I applaud you for your help of such a fine organization. I cannot tell you how uplifting it was when The Ohio State University at Lima Student Senate donated several boxes of canned goods to The Samaritan House.
