I'm sure you've heard of the phrase, "Christmas in July." After all we've been through this year, I thought we should just pause a moment for a little "Thanksgiving in August." At Park View Community Mission, we are grateful for so many blessings in the midst of one of the most memorable years on record!
I can't list all the people and organizations that have "shouldered the load" with us through new precautions and protocols. Please know that all of the help we receive emboldens us to "power forward" in our mission to love our neighbors.
Many things are uncertain, but we are certainly full of gratitude for the outstanding support from our community this year. Many of you have helped us with our recent financial appeal in the mail, especially in becoming regular monthly donors. Many others have shown their concern by giving their time and demonstrating acts of kindness to our neighbors in a variety of ways. We sincerely appreciate each of you.
I think an old verse fits this year very well: "Life is mostly froth and bubble; two things stand in stone: Kindness in another's trouble, courage in your own." The kindness you show for the work we do truly encourages us each day. Thanks for your support!
