Do all the good you can
By all the means you can
In all the ways you can
In all the places you can
At all the times you can
To all the people you can
As long as ever you can.

Couldn’t be better said.

Two teenagers organizing a neighborhood food drive to give thanks by giving to others. “Bridgett Jenkins recognized a memory in the making when her 13-year-old daughter, Stacy, and her pal Jaymie Grauman, 14, organized a neighborhood food drive late last week [November 1996]. ‘They were just sitting there, and they said ‘Wouldn’t it be nice to just help someone?’ We’ve been there before,’ Jenkins said. “We know what it’s like to be down and out.’ The girls used Jaymie’s computer to design their fliers, then they hand-delivered them to the 150 homes in their neighborhood, Tibbitts Landing. That Sunday the girls got a little red wagon and started collecting. With the help of Jaymie’s father and a few friends, they ended the day with 10 bags of groceries for the food bank at Elk Plain School. ‘They were really excited,’ Jenkins said of the Bethel Junior High School students. ‘They thought nobody would really put anything out.’ Now they know how one generous act leads to another.”
