A new month. A new template. A new monthly feature on She’s Right.
Liberals are always squawking about how conservatives don’t care about the poor, but that’s just not so. Conservatives believe in people taking care of the poor, not the government.
In honor of compassionate conservatives everywhere, every month, I will post a new She’s Right Conservative Cause – a non-profit organization that cares for our needy neighbors.
What you do with this information is up to you.
This month’s Compassionate Cause is the Burlington Emergency Shelter.
The Burlington Emergency Shelter does not receive state or federal funds, so they rely on the generosity of caring people like you.
If money is not something you can spare, there are also volunteer opportunities.
We are always looking for volunteers to provide meals for our guests (enough to feed 25 people). A meal consists of a main dish, a side dish, a bread product, 2 gallons of a beverage, and a dessert. Get together with your friends, neighbors or co-workers and help provide a meal for the Shelter!
And for a fun way to help the homeless, you can volunteer at the Helping Hands Gift Wrap at the University Mall!
This is our second most important fundraiser of the year. We need at least 200 volunteers to make this a successful event. If you are interested in helping out, [click here for more info] or plan to come to the mall and let our volunteers wrap your holiday gifts!
You can check out this page of their website for other ways that you can help.

While I commend your intent, Bush and Marvin Olasky’s concept of “compassionate conservatism” is really flawed at its core and smacks of humanitarianism, not Christian humanism and charity.

That was a tongue-in-cheek use of the phrase “Compassionate Conservative” on my part. Bush’s policies are deplorable. Compassion should come from the individual and community, not the government. I seek to demonstrate true compassionate conservatism with this post.
