I have the pleasure of serving on the Board of Directors for the Furniture Bank of Metro Atlanta, an organization that provides furniture to families just out of homelessness, battling HIV, and fleeing domestic violence. And as I sit today by the fire, full from a good meal, I know there are families having a much less comfortable day than I. 
Being the holidays, coupled with the tough economic times, we are dealing with a severe shortage in needed furniture, mainly mattresses and box springs. A small contribution of $25 will help a handful of families sleep on a mattress and/or eat a warm meal on a real kitchen table.
