More nice news – an 11-year-old in Greensboro, North Carolina told her friends not to bring presents to her birthday party. Instead, she asked them to bring canned goods that she will donate to a local food pantry. This isn't the first time Audrey Mangum decided to forgo gifts in favor of more charitable...
