Feed the Dream and Howl at the Moon!

 Today is the:


11th Annual Granville Community Feed the Dream Food Drive.

Please join us in celebrating the Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday through an act of service by supporting the Food Pantry Network of Licking County. 
What can you do?
  • Visit our website http://onedayoneton.org/ and consider a donation.  $1 will buy 12 lbs of food! 100% of the money goes directly to the Food Pantry Network of Licking County.
  • Visit us onsite and bring a donation. We will be at the Ross’ Granville Market parking lot, from 9 am to 8 pm, tomorrow, Monday January 17th, Dr. Martin Luther King Day. We will be ready to receive any non-perishable food items and your monetary donations. Our collection site will be staffed by volunteer student and adult community organizations. 
  • Visit our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/watch/OneDayOneTon/ and invite as many friends as you can to our event on Monday.  Every connection can make a difference, not just for our collection but perhaps it may spur an individual to contribute to their own food pantry network.
Whatever you can do is greatly appreciated. We know that with your help our community will continue to Feed the Dream and FPN will be able to continue to serve those in need in Licking County.

Sincerely,
Feed The Dream Steering Committee & Student Board 

And- I'll be taking a walk in the snow tonight to howl at the moon...maybe some moon yoga??  A dear friend also alerted me to our first full moon of 2022 and shared this:

This moon is home in the watery cardinal sign of Cancer with a palpable emotional force howling through our being.  Full moons illuminate the natural polarity and hold up a mirror to areas of life that feel the tension of opposites. In this case, Cancer- Capricorn Home + Family<> Career + Goals.   

Known as the Wolf Moon in honor of howling wolves, it is a moment to lean into our "pack" and remembers our sense of belonging. Empathy, compassion, and forgiveness support us in the journey. Let the river flow, crying is a healing balm.

Yep, I've been feeling the pull and tension- my pack has dispersed, Clare and Peter happy back at school. Joe and I will be leaving for a work trip this week.  

Service is a great way to connect with packs and balance the tensions, it feels right for this full moon to allow us to honor this important special day where we remember what Martin Luther King called for and what can we do to help.
