I just came back from a local conference that outlines the needs of the local charities that serve our broader community. I know in P&R that there are many differences of opinion. I would urge people - irrespective of your political opinion - to support charities that serve your local community. The conference I attended this evening simply served to outline the tremendous need in our RTP, NC area. I am sure the same need exists in many local communities. I support the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina. Most communities have similar reputable organizations. I would urge everyone on ET to consider the less fortunate and support their local organizations through volunteer hours or financial donations.
