What is for dinner? A question we hear or ask just about every day.
What is for dinner? What if you did not know where your next meal was coming from. What if you did not have warm clothes, blankets or air conditioning for those very hot Summer days!
What if your children and elderly parents went to bed hungry each day!
As we live and enjoy our life in Aberdeen, hundreds or perhaps thousands of people living close by in our town of Boynton Beach are without food and a place to live. Less than 2 miles from our homes, down Boynton Beach Boulevard is the Soup Kitchen of Boynton Beach. Many of our neighbors and friends are consistent volunteers there.
Dee started volunteering there three years ago. When her husband Ed, saw how good Dee felt helping these families and individuals, he started volunteering once a week as well.
Living in the middle of such affluence we sometimes forget that not everyone is so fortunate. Ed refers to what they do as a “Stress Buster.” Now Fred and Linda have also started to help. Many others followed.
Local businesses are very helpful by donating food items, clothes, blankets, and much needed funds. The Sun Sentinel reported a study that shows the benefit of helping others less fortunate, often having lower rates of depression and higher level of physical wellbeing.
The next time you are asked what is for dinner think of what you can do to help your less fortunate neighbors as well.
