This Saturday, October 27th is Make a Difference Day, yes, THIS saturday. I know the list of activities you probably have is a long one between fall sports, birthday parties, Halloween activities and the list goes on.  However, heavy your load may seem, chances are someone else’s load is heavier.

What exactly is Make a Difference Day? Well, it’s actually the largest national day of helping others in our country.
