November
1, 2013 – New York, NY
– For the second consecutive year, What You Can Do will team up with
Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen in New York City, the second largest soup kitchen in
the country, for the holiday season. Last year, What You Can Do fans helped Holy
Apostles receive a $3,000 donation by participating in a Facebook “Like”
campaign.
What You
Can Do will feature week long campaigns to help address the dynamic
challenges of people facing hunger. New What You Can Do videos will spotlight Holy Apostles and topics such as the working poor, along with the stories of Holy Apostles guests.
The week of November 18, join us to participate in the Holy Apostles “Fast-A-Thon”, or commit to skipping a meal and donating the cost to your local food bank. For Thanksgiving week, we will turn to water conservation with a challenge to turn off the tap during the holiday. The week of December 2, take a pledge to support your local food bank by “liking” our graphic on the What You Can Do Facebook page. In honor of Giving Tuesday on December 3, we will donate one meal per like up to a 1000 meal donation to Holy Apostles. The week of December 9, we invite fans to donate a gently used coat to Holy Apostles, a coat drive such as New York Cares or an organization serving homeless or hungry people in your community.

I'm the same way I do my best to remain neutral. It's hard if you communicate with the person the other person dislikes then you fall out of favor with them! I simple can't dislike a person just because someone else does I just can't.
