Had a chance to take a tour of the new Union Mission headquarters here in Hampton Roads. I must say those folks are doing some nice work but there is still more to accomplish. Tomorrow (11/11), all day, 97.3 The Eagle will be asking you to donate $38 on your credit card in order to feed 20 people this holiday season who are hungry and hurting in this community.
Before the tour, I had a picture of alot of single men who are homeless and need the help but it was touring the family section of the Mission that really hit me. Seeing little beds made very nicely with stuffed animals on the beds drove home the fact that we're talking about lots more women and children this year. One of the directors at the Mission told me that amount of families being helped by Union Mission has grown the most of any group. I read in the newspaper several weeks ago that the biggest need this holiday season is not clothing.....it's FOOD! I can't help but think of the little children with their moms there at the Mission just trying to get through each night. Please help us when we ask you to call in or go online and donate. We have lots to be thankful for this holiday season so why not pass some of that thanks on to someone who needs to be encouraged.
