All Treats No Tricks!

– Happy Halloween!  Bowl of candy? Check. Costume on? Check. Pumpkins carved? Check. Today is All Hallow’s Eve and what better day to dress up, go out, and overindulge on sugary sweets? However, take a few precautions before venturing out: ·   If you have kids, don’t let them trick-or-treat without supervision ·   Don’t let your child eat candy that doesn’t come in a wrapper ·   Hold a flashlight when outside so drivers can see you ·   But Halloween doesn’t have to be all about the sugar rush and crazy costumes.

Volunteer a few hours of your time to work in a soup kitchen and help serve those who are in need of a hot meal. You can also use this time to get your family involved and impart good moral values on your children. For many years running, I have volunteers at Glide Memorial Church in downtown San Francisco and enjoyed each and every minute of it.   I bet your community has a place like Glide that can be your “happy place” meaning that you make other people happy and that alone filled YOU with joy.   But if you find yourself in the San Francisco Bay Area around Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Years, come on down and we’ll have fun together serving up some love: -           GLIDE on over and Serve a Meal!
