Post #6-Kindness during Shutdown

Hello everyone,

In my last post, I discussed a story in which an officer helped a young man in need, just before his final moments.  This week, I am going to tell you about a local business that is trying to keep the kindness coming during this awful government shutdown.  Less than two blocks from the capital building in Washington, D.C., a local Starbucks is offering cash donations to furloughed federal workers.  Since the times are hard and the money is not coming in, workers are allowed to take as much as they need.  Civilians are also being encouraged to refill the bin.  This act of kindness from a local business is giving an opportunity for everyone to be kind.  Also, this has inspired many other local businesses to do similar things.  Local fitness company Town Sports is offering free access to their facilities.  Many bars and restaurants in the area are offing discounts as well.  Even though the times can get rough, a person can always find time to assist someone else in need.  I hope you enjoyed reading.  Be Safe and Be Kind.
