Andrea Jaron's Holiday Message

What I learned during 5780 that I will take into the 5781 New Year is that there is great power in people working together, that the potential for a more significant impact lies in a willingness to collaborate, and that the ability to think differently can result in creative solutions. 5780 was a challenging year in many ways, and certainly the last six months have been unprecedented in forcing so many of us to think differently, both in our professional and personal lives. I hope this next year will be one of possibilities and that we can take the lessons of 5780 and use them to help others, whether through offering support to our neighbors, helping a friend or family member with a challenge, or finding a way to be kind to ourselves and each other.

Andrea Jaron is the executive director of Second Helpings Atlanta, a food rescue organization.
