Today instead of church we went out and did service projects. There were beach and park clean-ups, passing water out at the dino-dash, E-Waste collection and collecting food for Families Forward.The boys and I were out at the Woodbury Trader Joe's from 9 to 11am collecting needed items for Thanksgiving meals plus other essential items. We did this earlier in the year at Albertson's.
Each time a person handed me a bag of food, a canned good or even a gift card- I would get tears in my eyes. The human spirit of kindness is alive and kicking. I would thank people after they had given us a donation and they in-turn would thank us for being there to collect it in the first - what a small way to give back and yet there aren't enough people doing.
A bit of the bounty!
Mommy's little helpers!
