Tis The Season - Holiday Food Drives

  Hello Parents!

Just a note to remind all of you-many schools have food drives going on this time of year.  Even though times are tough for all of us, please do what you can to help these collection drives be successful.

Please remember-families just like yours are having problems putting a proper meal on the table, and many children are not getting enough of the right foods to eat.

The family you help out may be one just down the street-dad may have lost his job due to a layoff or a downsize, and mom may be working part-time still, to try to pay some bills.....

Being a divorced, non-custodial dad, and still unmarried, I am the sole bread winner for myself and my two daughters.  I still managed to get a reasonable bag of canned and non-perishable foods for each of my daughters to add to their class' collection for the schools food drive.

Can you help too?

A FATHER OF TWO

Another way you can help? 

Educate yourself with the destructive nature of family court systems by reading Taken Into Custody by Dr. Stephen Baskerville, Ph.D.  Read this, pass it on and tell at least two people a day about what you learned.
