Helping out Humanity

With all the bad news that newspapers report on, it is always good to get a bit of good news squeezed in between the murders, thefts, and fires. This last week I was able to go to two events that featured volunteers helping out the community. The first was at the Torres Shelter where a group of people came out to help make a garden to beautify the shelter.
