It is also a season of giving. Residents in the Arlington and Green Isle area have always been generous during this time of year. Churches, schools and organizations hold collections for the local and area food shelves. Individuals and groups donate presents to Santa’s Helpers and Toys For Tots while other people volunteer to wrap those gifts. The giving goes on and on. This Christmas once again comes at a pivotal time. This year’s holiday season comes at a time when many individuals and families are experiencing difficult times. For the fifth consecutive year, people actually know neighbors and friends who are without work or just back to work and struggling to put food on the table and presents underneath the Christmas tree. When the parties are over and the decorations are packed away, however, these people may continue to struggle to make ends meet into the new year. Although there again is hope that this will finally be the last Christmas of the global economic Letter To The Editor difficulties, many individuals and families will need the help of their neighbors, friends and family members well into 2014.
