I see all kinds of opportunities to contribute to good causes here that do not need folks at the mail drop. That is just my personal opinion.

If we want to give, we know where to give and how to give. Our village collects money and canned goods and health articles for the homeless children in Ocala Forest and for the kids who need things that attend the local schools. Many churches do the same. My back door neighbor volunteers endlessly at St. Vincent de paul. And she collects can tops and of course anything there is a need for as well as money. Money works everywhere to help.

Many of us have personal reasons to contribute to certain research efforts.
I think we live among a caring and generous group of people.
