Tis the Season…

As we approach Christmas, the spirit of giving seems to awaken within our hearts.

The Wild Dog has embraced this spirit in their community.  The Wild Dog is taking donations for gently used and new clothing this week from 11-4 daily at their trailer.  These treasures will be donated to one of two churches in the community in hopes of helping others to stay warm and enjoy the season in ways that otherwise might have not been possible.

It’s easy to go about our daily lives and think of the events that go wrong.  It’s easy to wallow in our own misery.  But I’ve been reminded from time to time that if we take the problems of others and toss them in a heap, we will gladly take back our own problems.

This is the season to hustle and bustle, attending parties, planning for company, shopping and just hoping for a moment alone because your calendar is too full.  It’s unfortunate there are others who are wondering how to provide the basics.

If charity has not crossed your mind this year or if you are looking for new ways to help others, check out Ben’s (of Ben’s Carts) article by clicking here.

Are you operating your street food business this winter?  How are you giving back to your community?  It warms my heart to know what others are doing to give back to their town.  Please let me know and I will share your story.
