In just a week or so, peculiarplace is going to do for the first time something we plan to do forever! Give Back! At a time when so many people are hurting, so many shelters and food pantry’s have more people in need than food, we wanted to provide some people with a little something to maybe help them have a glimpse of Christmas.

I ordered these bad boys today and cannot wait until we get them. I have been so blessed to be surrounded by a family and launch team who are givers and believe in sacrificial giving! I love my crew!!

So, here is how it is going to work. We are simply going to ride around Old Fourth Ward, jump out of the car and place a gift card, denomination between $10.00 & $100.00, in their mailbox!!! We plan on saving at least twenty of the cards to walk through, Underground, Five Points Station, as well as Auburn & Edgewood Ave., putting these cards in the hands of individuals we randomly pick out. We plan to do the face to face action two days before Christmas and be “mailbox bandits”, striking at anytime when the gift cards arrive.

We are also creating a website to allow you and others to tell us how you are giving back, what you might be doing for someone in need this Christmas, and also a chance for those who received the cards to tell us what they did with their “extra” money.

What do you think?
