In our opinion: It’s the season to help others

The holiday season has arrived. And that means that many good-hearted people and organizations will be gathering food, clothing, toys, money and other items for those less fortunate.

At The Sun, we want to help make your event as successful as possible. But to do that, we need your help.

Many retailers count on “Black Friday” to help put their business “in the black” for the year. If holiday sales are strong, they have a good overall year. If sales are soft, they struggle to get by.

The same theory can hold true for nonprofits and other groups that depend on the public’s generosity during the holiday season to see them through the rest of the year. People, naturally, are more giving during this time of the year. So, in the coming weeks, you’ll see bell-ringers, donation drives and a lot of other efforts to help those in need.

We salute everyone who holds a drive to help those in need. But we also want to help make those efforts as grand and successful as possible.

To do that, we need to know about your event well in advance (at least two weeks is best). We need to know what types of items you are trying to collect, who will benefit from the drive, and, most importantly, how people can get involved to help you.

Email is the best way to send us this information, and you’ll find our news email address throughout this paper.

Then, after we get your information, we’ll take it from there. We’ll get it into the paper and let everyone in town know what it is you are trying to accomplish and how they can be a part of it.

Many families are still struggling with the economy. There always are people in need.

Let us help you to help them. Send us your event information and let’s make this a big donation year.
