SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., March 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- "During the
holidays, we see an outpouring of thoughtfulness to those who are
less fortunate. But what about after the holidays, when the
outpouring of good intention ends? Unfortunately, the holidays are
not the only time families need help. It's twelve months a year;
there are always families in need. Some families have had their
breadwinner(s) out of work for months, taking its toll on family
finances. Others have had medical emergencies. There are many
situations that can put a family in need. And as you might imagine,
there are many families who don't reach out for help at all, and
often they are the ones who suffer the most. That's why
DollarDays is anonymously giving away $5,000 in merchandise this month to people and
families who could use a hand. To support this suffering segment of
our population, we as a nation must come together, and this
giveaway is DollarDays' way of giving back," said DollarDays CEO
Marc Joseph.
DollarDays' founder and CEO, Marc
Joseph, just authored a Huffington Post article about
what happens to a person or family when unemployment benefits are
depleted, both short and long term. It's a devastating tale and
paints a realistic picture regarding the domino effect of
unemployment. The article is also the catalyst for DollarDays'
March $5,000 Giveaway where merchandise will be dispersed to
families in need who are anonymously nominated by you. DollarDays
will be giving one $2,000, one
$1,000, one $500 and 15 $100
shopping sprees.
We all know that the most vulnerable part of our society is
going to be in real trouble for the next several years, especially
with what we have been seeing out of Washington recently. It's time for all of us
to look around in our own backyard and be a good neighbor. Whatever
each of us can do to pay it forward to help others just might cause
a ripple effect that will help those in need pull through these
difficult times.
This is the time for businesses to step up and chip in. We know
non-profits tirelessly help twelve months a year, but if you're
unemployed or needing help, no day is a holiday. Let's do what we
can to help others, and entering the DollarDays $5,000 Merchandise
Giveaway is a good start.
