We have all been hearing about how businesses are stepping up to help out our local food bank that had to close its doors in the past couple weeks due to lack of food. What I didn't expect was to hear from my girlfriend Deena that a girl from our own community has brought us global.
Local Author Gracie Wilson has done something using social media as a good way to reach around the world. The event is called Auction for the Holidays and it consists of Authors around the world donating signed books for her auction to purchase food needed to keep those in our city who need extra help have a bit of an easier time. This girl has brought New York Best sellers around too. These authors who are not from here, don't even know where here is, are stepping forward to help our community. She even posted that she has a local business that sells meat offering her a discount and such to help her get more for less. From the timelines in this event it would seem that she works day and night. For nothing, not a penny it would appear. She is even doing the shopping with her family and friends.I counted up the bids and she's already gotten 600USD it looks like and it's been open 48hours. So Gracie and those helping her you've been spotted. As someone who has used this particular food bank from the bottom of my heart I thank you.
