CALL Primrose

Processing receipts a week before Thanksgiving
In 2017 we signed up for and delivered four boxes to the CALL Primrose fill-a-box-feed-a-family Thanksgiving food drive.

This year we committed to four containers again and were overwhelmed with offers to help. We delivered nine (9) boxes this afternoon.

It will be tempting to commit to, say, six boxes next year, but we'll have to think about it.

When the demands increase, charity ceases to be a joyous activity and becomes an obligation (yes, many traditions view charity as a moral obligation, but specific deliveries at a time and place feel like a secular debt).

Besides, it's always better to under-promise and over-deliver.
