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.

Just took our pup in for what could have been a potentially serious situation and the staff at the Walker Road Animal Hospital were absolutely wonderful! The doctor who was filling in for the night was such a great, down to earth vet and the technicians and front desk staff were friendly, personable and got right to business without making things seem scary. I was so nervous bringing my boy in and they just made everything go so smoothly. Not to mention he is okay and back home recovering :) Walker Road Animal Hospital you have been spotted! Thank you for all your hard work!

I want to take the time to thank lady officer at the LaSalle police station! We did not get your name but you helped me and my daughter install her sons Car seat. You were kind and explained step by step to my daughter all the safety steps to take. Also you answered all our questions we had. Once again thank-you :) and you have definitely been spotted

To the dad who was at active body tonight. You looked tired from working all day and your son wanted to play a game you didn't. But how could you say no to such a cute child? You played with him and he giggled and smiled, he was so happy. I enjoyed listing to both of you laugh and play...

To all the Goodfellow volunteers out on this cold and rainy day (and every other day) way to go!!! You guys are awesome!! Thanks for all your doing for those in need!!!

Today while I was shopping at the mall I noticed a young child standing and staring at people passing by with tears in his eyes. By the time I got to him another lady also walked up to him asking if he is lost. He got so worried and frightened for the first little bit. You seemed to know exactly what to say to him to try and help calm him down. After a few giggles he warmed up to you and said he would walk with you to customer service. By the time you turned to walk him a lady came running over crying and he quickly jumped into her arms. You explained that you were about to take him to the customer service counter. The lady was still crying and repeating I promise this has never happened before and I promise it happened so fast I wasn't sure where he ran off too. You calmed her down also and hugged her telling her "it's OK, it happens to everyone at least once!" The boy reached over to hug you one more time before you turned around and walked away. I watched as you walked away and the mother still facing you saying the words thank you thank you again and again as you walked away. You were an angel and I don t know if I would have been as calm and collected as you were in that situation. You taught me something and I just wanted to say thank you for being you and caring as much as you did.

To the Goodfellow standing in the pouring rain Friday morning at 7:30 am at Walker Rd. and Riverside Drive. YOU HAVE BEEN SPOTTED! While most of us complained and grumbled on our morning commute about the weather, you stood proud enduring the cold and pouring rain, not for personal gain, but because you felt compelled to do something that will benefit those in need. I commend you (and your peers) for your selflessness, dedication and compassion. You have truly embody the Goodfellows Code! I am thankful to know that I have such a kind hearted and charitable person in my community!
