The Blanchet House of Hospitality
My daughter Grace invited me to help serve breakfast Monday morning at the Blanchet House of Hospitality in downtown Portland. This organization helps "To feed, clothe and offer shelter and aid to those in need". When I was a kid my dad volunteered here and hired some of the patrons to help with odd jobs around our house. Now I can say three generations of Neals have volunteered here. (This was my first time, but Grace has helped here before). Just this small commitment of time made me feel invigorated and grateful for what I have. It's great to get things in perspective. Every little bit helps.
Hi Kevin,
ReplyDeleteBravo, to Gracie, you and your Father.
Sincerely,
Gary.
