Lend A Helping Hand

As we gather ’round to give thanks with family and friends this Thanksgiving season, let’s remember to also take time to help those less fortunate. The San Diego Rescue Mission serves the needs of the poor, addicted, abused, and homeless. Opportunities to give include making a monetary or material donation (the mission can pick up donations directly from your home). Items always needed include new and gently used clothing, furniture, house wares, small appliances, TVs and electronics, cribs and other items for infants, and Bibles and devotional materials. For more ways to give, visit the organization’s Web site and click on “How to Help.” (619/687-3720, www.sdrescue.org)      MIA STEFANKO
