This story has been getting a lot of attention on social media. It's the story of a woman whose wedding was cancelled at the last minute after the groom got cold feet. The family had prepaid for the wedding reception dinner. Rather than let it go to waste, the family invited homeless people to have the food instead.
I'm sure the young women is still dealing with her called-off marriage. But she took a bad situation and turned it into a good situation for other people.
I see people all the time making donations to our back door. I get phone calls from people asking how they can donate clothing, small household items and so on. There are all kinds of reasons why people want to donate. But the overriding one is that people simply want to help people who are less fortunate than themselves. I don't always know why they picked up that phone or got into their car, but I know what they are trying to accomplish. They are trying to do something nice for someone else.
As we move deeper into fall and closer to the holiday season, what nice thing will you do this year to help someone who doesn't have as much as you? Check out our donation page on the different ways you can help homeless people in Ottawa.
