Something special.

When you go on a holiday somewhere do you take things along to give away to the poor? My sister and brother inlaws go to Texas for the winter months. They live in a town just 10 minutes from the Mexican border. Every summer, here in Winnipeg, they go to garage sales to buy knap sacks. they used to fill them with school supplies and they would take them south with them and give them to the poor Mexican kids. This year they did something a little bit different. They still bought the knapsacks but this year they also bought some used blankets and filled them with them instead of school supplies. They will go to Mexico and hand them out to the kids, figuring they may need the blankets more than they need the school supplies. I think this is very generous of them to do each year. It makes them feel good to help these poor kids. Some of them only live in huts with no windows or doors and maybe no heat so that is why they thought to get blankets this year. So you know of anybody that helps out the poor this way? Or do you do anything like this to help?
