Share the love — start giving!

CELEBRATING OUR 35

YEAR
AS THE RETAIL OBSERVER
Elle's View As I See It
L
iving is giving, and people love to give because it feels good. Giving is
an act of selflessness and dedication to the betterment of others in
their time of need. Basically — giving makes people happy!
For many, giving has become not only a mission, but also a family holiday
tradition. Giving is a way to reconnect with our inner selves. By helping others,
our perspective shifts and fills us with an abundant source of gratitude.
Giving back is a wonderful practice that delivers joy to the giver — and
benefit to the receiver. Generosity and kindness encourage us to perceive
others in a more positive light, fostering a sense of community, and a feeling
of interconnectedness. Giving back is a commitment I wish for my family to
adopt and continue to pass down for generations to come.
This past year has been incredibly difficult for many across our nation,
and we here at The Retail Observer want to do something about it by filling
the needs of others with Give Hope 4 the Holidays this season and into the
future and to help with the necessities that are beyond the reach of many
this time of year.
Together with our volunteer gifting team, we will pool our resources and
use 100% of the money donated to buy gifts and items needed from our
list of families in need, so we can deliver food, clothing, gas, car tires,
furniture, appliances, household items and more, making a difference to
many families across America this Christmas! Let us know if you'd like to
add someone you know to our list that we can bless to receive. The more we
can help, the merrier all will be!
So, whether you have a lot to give or not very much; there is always
someone who is more in need than you. Always try to give, even if it is just
a little, especially this holiday season.
