Analysis Of Christmas Food And Toy Drive
For many years now, the Heart of Veterans has been bringing joy to veterans and their families on Christmas day through our annual Christmas Food and Toy Drive. The Christmas Food and Toy Drive is not just about the toys and dinner-it is about the gift of inspiring hope and opportunity. The holiday season is a very special time of year filled with laughter, joy and anticipation. Children dream of having a gift to open, however many children of veterans experience the holidays without a gift or a nice Christmas dinner.

Last year’s campaign was a tremendous success, and a large portion of that success was due to the incredible efforts of you all. You all volunteered many hours picking up toys, gift wrapping, and distributing dinner boxes,

    Let’s face the facts…. Christmas is in December. It’s October and not even late October at the time I’m writing this; and I’m already finding this gross red and green, Christmas related, candy cane striped trash sneaking its way into all of the stores! And this is just unacceptable! I mean, it is one thing for craft stores, like Hobby Lobby, because they have all seasons all the time and just shuffle stuff to the front as it gets closer to their respective holidays, but when it comes so Sam’s Club, Walmart, Dollar General, and huge chain stores like these, there is no reason to have Christmas stuff even showing up until AT LEAST after Halloween. And even yet, what kind of nutjob puts up Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving!? I don’t even…

    Three years ago my friend Amy and I were looking for a way to bring customers into Behm’s Sawdust City while helping the community. After about a month of throwing ideas around Amy came across an advertisement for Toys for Tots, and we decided that this would be a great way to bring people in and help the community. Little did we know that it would be a huge success! Every year we have had to become more organized. The first time we get together we decide on what band we are going to try and book and where we are going to ask for donations. Next we split up and go to different businesses and individuals that have donated in the past or may want to donate this year. Finally we advertise for the dance and start looking for volunteers to help.…

    It’s that time of year again when all of us college students leave our stress behind and head home for Thanksgiving break. It is one of those breaks we look forward to since the beginning of the semester, each for our own reasons. Many of us look forward to spending some quality time with our relatives while others look forward to finally enjoying a home-cooked meal. Simply being granted the opportunity to spend one’s time however we see fit is a gift in itself for some of us. Some students engage in specific activities during the break while others enjoy not having any plans whatsoever. Each student engages in their own holiday traditions with their loved ones. After interviewing a few students at the University of Texas at Austin, it is evident that every family has their differences and similarities in the way they celebrate during the holidays.…

    My family and I participate in sponsoring a family for Christmas each year. We go to the Social Apostolate or Interfaith Hospitality and buy gifts for a family in need. During this process, the family writes letters telling us about their lives, needs, and wants. Honestly, doing this is my favorite part about Christmas. Jesus wants us to help those in need and I believe by doing this we are doing what He wants.…

    In the United States, strange things are happening during the holiday season. A jolly “Merry Christmas” is met with offense, nativity scenes illicit anger, and people are fighting over tradition! People have named this “The War on Christmas”, which is a tad dramatic, but there is a ridiculous amount of unnecessary conflict surrounding the holiday season. These conflicts primarily began to arise in the 1950s, due to a growing diversity in the United States. For example, during that time Minnesota dealt with a series of church-state controversies in public schools, including the question of student involvement in Christmas activities in school (Dierenfield). However, it was also in the 1950s…

    It was my favorite activity because it was a celebration for the homeless. It gave them hope and essentials before they had to endure the cold winter. A group of us were able to pass out clothing, bedding, and toys to those who waited. I also helped serve holiday meals to people, which included turkey, macaroni, and pumpkin pie. It was rewarding to see everyone eating nice meals while a band played holiday music in the background. For a moment, everyone could forget their situations and enjoy the presence of others. At times, it was overwhelming because we were helping hundreds of people, but in the end I enjoyed it all. I learned the most from this event because I saw parents that were trying to provide for their infants and people who had homes but could not pay for their basic utilities, all desperately waiting in line to receive clothing and bedding. This gave me a new definition of what homeless means.…
