we have always tried our best to teach our children to be kind to others. and, we are so very thankful to provide our kids with what they need and so much more. but, in reality, we know that in our community and even in our own neighborhood, there are kids that are less fortunate than us. this year, we asked for help from our friends too.
we started with a thirty-one special on lunch thermals that allowed us to purchase them at a reduced rate. and we asked our friends to sponsor them for $20 each. that paid for the lunch bag and a little extra for shipping and tax. i also donated my commission on the bags to buy the school supplies to fill them up. in the end, we had maybe $1-2 per bag (from the donations) to fill them up.
my goal was 40 bags and we got about half of those sponsored! the others were covered by us. it really makes me feel good to be able to do this for some children in need right here in beaufort county.
we split up the donations and took 20 bags to family promise of beaufort county and the other 20 went to bluffton self help. the kids helped me deliver them and got to experience a little bit of pride in doing for others!
stay tuned for next year...i'd love to do something similar again💓
