Giving

It is that time of year when people want to give with good cheer. I love hearing about all the people offering to help people they don't know.

While Colorado is the best at some things, like being healthy, we fall miserably short when it comes to giving our time or money to charity. Utah is at the top of the list.

There are working families in the Grand Junction area that need help, but don't qualify or want to ask for assistance because they feel others need it more. These people aren't looking for a handout, but a hand-up holiday.

'Tis better to give than receive. Never has that old staple of the Christmas season been truer than it was last week at a fast food restaurant in Liberty, Texas.
