Every year we try to come together as a grove to make a donation to a worthy cause.
This always sparks discussion as to where our efforts are most needed and where is appropriate to donate. We’ve made mistakes in the past of donating to groups that , shallop we say, end up being less than charitable to their patrons or have hidden religious agendas they mask under a guise of “all inclusiveness”
Either way, this year we decided to donate to a shelter to end homelessness. Adsum House is largely known for its work helping women and children but the global message is to ensure all have a safe home. Their support goes beyond housing people in times of need. They also provide basics to those who move into homes from their facility and help families out over the holidays with toys for children in need.
As a grove we enjoy doing things together and it’s better still when we can help our community. Thank you to everyone who took part this solstice season, I know things can be busy and expensive, it means a lot that you invest in these causes.
