We give to the outreach fund at church for turkeys to be purchased, but we haven't been giving until it hurts. Or, even until we feel it. And, that's been weighing on my heart a lot lately.
So, for every comment on my blog from now until Thanksgiving Day, on this post or others, I will give one dollar toward canned goods or non-perishable food items to Mission Arlington.
Mission Arlington is a faith-based, non-profit in my city that is open 364 days per year to serve the Arlington and surrounding communities. Samplings of the services they offer are:
Food, Home and personal needs:
Clothing, Furniture and appliances, Household items, computers
Health and Dental services
Medical equipment loans
Transportation services:
Automobiles, gas vouchers, bicycles

After school programs, school supplies, busing, camps, carnivals
After school programs, school supplies, busing, camps, carnivals
The Christmas Store

Conversational English classes and Legal Aid
Mission Arlington is an amazing resource and I’m so proud to have helped out from time to time with my involvement in the Junior League of Arlington. They are such amazing and caring people and it would make my heart happy to give back to them this holiday season. Won’t you help me?

Love it! My newest November tradition is quickly becoming my favorite. Thanks for being a part of my Comments for Cans !
You are amazing! Just another reason why I love you and your blog to death!
I love this post. Mission Arlington sounds like an amazing place.
This is wonderful!
Mission Arlington takes me back! I went to Pantego Christian Academy and (at least when I was there) the elementary classes all adopted a needy family through MA. The class would bring in all the supplies for a full Thanksgiving dinner, right down to the turkey. We'd load up in the moms' cars and deliver the meal to the family. It was very special!
Good on you! And this sounds like a fantastic organisation.
You are such an amazing person, Sara!
