In Britain and Canada, the day after Christmas is Boxing Day. For many, it is an extension of the holiday, making more time to spend with family. There are many ideas why it is called Boxing Day, but some believe it is a tradition to give gifts and food to the poor. Which is a roundabout way of reminding all of us that sharing does not stop after Christmas. The more help we can give each other, the stronger our community will be, and the better able we will all be to weather the storm.
If you were affected by the January 2024 severe storms, you can apply for federal disaster assistance.
