Wine for Hope

Just more than 10 days ago, my daughters and I joined our pastor, Father Joe O'Connor in his "Run for Hope," a challenge he issued to help drive donations to the annual Hope Appeal for the Syracuse Diocese.

Wine for a Good Cause

Last week was a gorgeous week weather-wise in Central New York. One weeknight, our family traveled south of the city of Syracuse to a very special farm in Lafayette, New York, called Matthew 25. Founded 10 years ago, the farm is completely run on donations of time, talent and treasure. The farm grows crops and gives them away to the poor.
