The holiday season is finally upon us, and after a year of frequent and devastating natural disasters affecting our neighbors in the Big Bend, holiday cheer is needed more than ever. Our neighbors suffered total home loss, prolonged power outages, food shortages, and more.
We asked you for help, and the response was overwhelming! We appreciate your support in helping our neighbors in their time of greatest need. We thank YOU for our ability to act quickly in response to these life-changing events!
As we all pause for holiday celebrations, I am reminded of a quote from Oscar Wilde, who said "The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention." This holiday season, I encourage each and every one of you to do one act of kindness that betters your community in some way. It takes all of us to create a better future, and that starts with small improvements until we're met with a crescendo of good.
I wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season filled with family, love, gratitude, and health. Your support of the United Way of the Big Bend is always appreciated, both by our team and the neighbors you help. We couldn't do it without you, so thank you!
