Letter to the Editor

Editor,

To those of you who use Care and Share as a garbage dump, this letter is for you. Shame on you!

Care and Share does a wonderful service to the community with proceeds from usable donations. When you dump dirty, torn and broken-down furniture, such as couches, chairs and mattresses, you take away from Care and Share's program.

Care and Share has to pay to have those items taken to the city dump. That is money that could be used to help some unfortunate family with heating and water bills as well as medicine.

Care and Share is a great asset to the Senior Citizens Center. Without its monthly donation some of the services offered there would suffer. Through their donations, the Meals on Wheels program can ensure more meals for seniors.

Next time you load up a bunch of broken, dirty and stained furniture and mattresses, think of that cold, hungry child who may lose out because Care and Share had to pay to dump your trash.

Care and Share, we thank you for your service to the community and the Senior Center.
