Happy Thursday, welcome to this weekly edition of A Note From Your Publisher! Brrr! It was a cold windy day today. We hope everyone is staying well, there seems to be a lot of viruses going around.
This year, I have witnessed many requests on Facebook for people needing food. We would like to ask our readers to donate at least 2-3 non-perishable food items to a food bank, The Interfaith Pantry, The Agape Center, Women's Resource Center or a Little Free Pantry if you are able. Twenty-nine percent of those experiencing food insecurity do not qualify for federal nutrition programs. If you know of anyone in need of food, please reach out to us and we will do our best to point them to the correct resources.
Be sure to look at our Holiday Shop Local Gift Shopping & Services Guide we've had several new businesses join this week.
