Samaritan's Purse

I received a letter in the mail a few days ago from Samaritan's Purse that asked for me to make a donation to aid in the assistance of the families involved with Virginia Tech Massacre. The giving of funds is a great way to help out your community. So please check your mail to look for opportunities to serve. Now there is no excuse to not help out...you don't even have to leave your home to help others. Samaritan's Purse is great organization to donate money to; they help provide care for those who have faced natural disaster (hurricanes, tornados, famine) and those who have faced major crises ( 9-11, Virginia Tech massacre). They also have a great program around Christmas time called Operation Christmas Child. Participants collect small gifts and place them in a shoe box that will be sent to third world countries and children who would not usually receive a present on Christmas day. This is a great way to others and to get into the spirit of giving.
