Best of FPF: Keeping Neighbors in Mind for the Winter Ahead

National Good Neighbor Day is this weekend and this message jumped out as a shining example. Kyle posted this offer in his Worcester Forum and we thought it was well worth a share:

“Everyday reality isn’t the same experience for each of us, and I don’t believe we can have a healthy happy community if all of us are not having, at the minimum, our basic needs met.

I’m offering this; let me know if you, or someone you know, don’t have the resources to stay warm this winter. (It’s lining up to be a real good one from the sounds of it.)

If you can’t swing it for whatever reason, I will bring dry hardwood to your house in Worcester. For those that are able-bodied with trucks and trailers, there is plenty of free slab wood to come cut up and haul away. Please consider your neighbors and acquaintances when you read this.

Anonymity, no judgment, no advertisement. Stay warm, Worcester.”
