My 8 year old and I teamed up this summer to create an outreach project for our local Food Bank. We are by no means "well off" but he always asks about those who hold up the signs that say "need food" and things like that. He asked where these people can get food and why don't they work, etc.. so it was a long conversation.
Our local Food bank helps families, the elderly, homeless, and those in need of food and toiletries.
So we've been bargain shopping and using guides from Extreme couponers to find the deals where we can get free food or toiletries (or close to free).
We decided that for every 5 likes, we donate 1 item.
We have almost reached our goal and hopefully making our 1st delivery this week.
I am very proud of him and hopefully we can continue and make this grow.
Our scouts also deliver food to the same food bank in November for Scouting for food, so we are familiar with this location.
Just wanted to share my proudness
From their first baby breath to their 18th birthday, children experience thousands of milestones. Talk about them all here.
