Perhaps its time, we here inTV, do something for our African American neighbors...especially in the so poor parts of Wildwood.
Just some suggestions...
Donate you next stimulus check to the Wildwood Food Pantry.
Volunteer at the food pantry.
Take some of your income and go to the black churches and donate it.
Drive into Wildwood and engage our neighbors in constructive, healing conversation.
We have all been blessed here...we need to do more for our brothers.
Does anyone else have some suggestions?

I got a really strange feeling when I read this post. Not only is it very heartwarming, but reminded me of a past TOTV poster (Buggy or Buggy1) who has passed, but you mention some of his favorite activities. He served in the Food pantry for years, and while he and I did not share the same complete philosophy on government, we became "friends" based on this thought process.
God Bless...I am sure Richard read this post
