Feeding the Community

The Cartersville community held its yearly Feed the Community Dinner two days ago. They served a Thanksgiving style dinner to about 1,500 people. Along with a warm meal, they offered other services, free of charge to the attendees.

Rome will host its community dinner on Thanksgiving day. Other communities may have already done theirs as well or will be offering it in the next couple of days.

Along with the Thanksgiving dinner, let us not forget the countless meals prepared every week by churches all around the community to feed the poor of the area. These events no longer make the news, but they are a reminder that kindness and service do exist on weeks other than Thanksgiving week.

If you have never helped with these types of events, don't worry. You can start now. One can of peas, or corn, etc. may not seem much, but along with other donated items will be enough to feed those less fortunate.

If finances do not allow you to donate food, perhaps you can donate some of your time. There are many worthwhile volunteer opportunities. 

Together, as members of our community, we can make a difference and make the world a better place, one community at the time.
