There's a resident of Newtown on this Vid who says (parphrasing) "you do what you can .. everyone does a little and it adds up to a whole lot."

As Newtown, Connecticut marks the end of the first week since the horrific shooting of Friday, December 14, the cliché of “new normal” is already making the rounds in conversations about “where do we go from here?” But the pain is still so raw; the families who lost loved ones are conducting funerals and struggling with crushing loss and the need to somehow carry on. The town is besieged by media of every kind and the sorrow and shock that pervades the town has become overwhelming. It’s likely to be that way for a while.

So what do you do if you’re a person who wants to help; who wants to offer comfort and just a little bit of warmth and human connection? If you’re Beth Howard, you pack up your pie truck with 240 apple pies and drive from Eldon, Iowa to Newtown, Connecticut to bring just a little comfort to a grieving town.
