I have worked in the same career for 30 years and in each of those years there has always been some giving back to the community. Whether it was a food drive, coat drive, blood drive, money drive, or whatever the cause it was very gratifying knowing that I and others could make a positive difference in someone else's life.

I have always preferred helping those in the community I live and work in. So, if one of your New Year's resolutions was to help others or be better to yourself, the next time there is a walk for a charity near you, a food pantry, a blood donation drive, or anything in your community that allows you to help someone else, try it because you will be surprised at how good it will make you feel. That is exactly what an auto repair shop in Muskegon did.

Wheels for Christmas is where families who need a vehicle get nominated by others and one family gets selected to win a car. This is a great charity that is truly impacting someone's life.
