It's container day at NuDay Syria. Donations are sorted and boxed up and readied to be shipped off to Syria.
The sheer magnitude of the donations is overwhelming enough. What sends it over the edge is the number of volunteers who have come together, to spend a portion of their Super Bowl Sunday trying to help those who need it the most.
THIS is what makes America great. This is what make PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD great. Humanities darkest days all have one connecting theme: when we'd let old, outdated instincts win out over thoughtfulness and love.
People are capable of the absolute worst if they think their actions are justified. But people are capable of the absolute best when they remember we all just want the same things.
We are not our leaders. We are not our legislation. We are not our borders. We are in this together.

But what about the homeless here in America?

I agree. So much money goes to other countries while there are plenty of less fortunate in this country!

Given that the other organization I'm a part of creates and donates goods to the homeless, I have that corner covered too

The fact that you said they are spending their Super Bowl Sunday doing this, as if that is some huge sacrifice. That troubles me.

It's just the type of Sunday it is. I could've said, "Spent their Sunday." Conversely, people could've opted out saying they had party plans
