A Mary's House Story: People really want to give

People are going out of their way to give to Mary's House.

Matt Baker, who put up a donations can at the Flatwoods Diner, said, "People here are really helping out. Mostly, it's regular customers, but yesterday something happened which really meant something.

"A woman I had never seen before came in, asked where the Mary's House donation jar was, and headed straight for it. She folded a twenty, put it in the jar, and left. I saw her car pull over to the new road and head out. That's pretty impressive, I thought."

Baker said he's hoping there will be enough money donated today so that the second gift from the store equals one Saturday, when $106 was turned in. "Maybe today a few more people will step up and we can make today the day they announce that the money has been raised."

For anyone who wants to donate at the Flatwoods Diner: It's at 6470 Burkesville Road, Columbia, KY 42728, PHONE: 270-378-6979; HOURS: every day from 6am-7pmCT.
