Who is Jimmy Murphy
I was interested in Jimmy Murphey so I looked it up and heres a copy & paste of an article:
http://www.news14charlotte.com/conte...109218&SecID=3
Jimmy Murphey is continuing his tradition of providing a hot holiday meal and goodies to the needy, but he needs help collecting toys this year.
CONCORD, N.C. – The underprivileged in Concord and surrounding areas know they can count on at least one thing during the Christmas season – a hot meal prepared, and in many cases delivered, by an unassuming neighbor named Jimmy Murphey.
For more than 30 years Murphey has turned donated items into enough food to feed 10,000 people, and has given out toys and clothes to hundreds of families. He may be the closest thing North Carolina has to Santa Claus.
Jimmy Murphey tries to make Christmas merrier by giving a hot meal, toys and clothing to the needy.
But this year is a little different, after some earlier scheduling problems Murphey’s Christmas Meal will go on as planned at Barber-Scotia College thanks to an unknown good Samaritan. But the toy room, which is all but bare, still needs some help.
“I need at least 10 or 20 times more,” Murphey said. “Last year I had people from all over town coming here looking for toys and I’m doing my best to try to make sure that these people who need these things get them.”
He’s now looking for any and everyone willing to donate toys to help make Christmas bright. Murphey said he remembers growing up during the depression and only getting a bag of fruit and a few pieces of candy for the holiday. He said that’s not good enough today.
Murphey needs lots more toys to give out to children this holiday season.
“Today they have to have something besides fruit. They want a toy or whatever,” he said. “It is very good to see their faces and their parents’ faces when they come and receive the goodies that I have.”
Each year his Christmas giving totals several times his income. So what drives a 76-year-old to go to such lengths to make sure his neighbors are taken care of each Christmas?
Murphey said that’s why he was put on the Earth.
