It is that time of year again where our church puts up the Angle Tree and also begins its annual food drive. The Angel Tree is for children that will have no Christmas presents, the food drive is for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners.
Last year we picked up 6 kids as well as donated a ton of food for the drives. So did a lot of others in the church, and as a result all the kids got gifts and we met our goals for the food drive. This year we are not even close.
The wife wants to still try and pick up a couple of kids and donate some food, I wanted to just concentrate on meeting the food drive goals. I thought it worse for a child to not have anything to eat.
What would you guys do? Concentrate on the food drive or do a balance with gifts and food? Opinions?
