The election is over. No more political ads or phone calls interrupting dinner. I can watch TV without fearing the comericals will devolve into an "I'm rubber, you're glue" prepubescent insult-fest. Samaritan House does not endorse people nor campaign for people. I realize our readers and supporters have all different views and beliefs and we are thankful for each one of them. This blog, however, is not to comment on the election or the results. There are plenty of people weighing in with commentaries and opinions who are far more intelligent than I.
I would rather spend my time allotted with you to inform you that no matter what happened last last night, we all woke up this morning and the homeless issue is just as fresh and pertinent as it was 24 hours ago. Today I choose to make a difference in the lives of people who have no one advocating for them. Today you are reading this blog because you care and want to help. Next week (November 10-18) is National Hunger and Homeless Awareness Week and I am doing some campaigning of my own. Each day Samaritan House will focus on a particular donation item that we need. Thank you, in advance, for supporting your local homeless shelter. We are located at 124 9th Avenue West in Kalispell. Any and all items are appreciated and receipts for tax deductions are available.
