As we officially end our 5th year of our annual food drive<\/a>, we wanted to once again express our gratitude for all of you who helped make it a success.\u00a0 This year<\/a> was our first year changing from an auction format and instead giving sessions to everyone who made a minimum donation.\u00a0 When we announced the results<\/a>, people had pledged to donate 545 food items and $320 in grocery gift cards!\u00a0 With the help of some couponing friends, we used those gift cards to go shopping for even more food.\u00a0 Our kids felt so proud as we filled multiple shopping carts and thought of all the families who would be helped by this food.\u00a0 We love having our entire family involved in this food drive.\u00a0 We know that the joy of giving that they experience through this is something that will grow in their hearts and help to make them into the amazing people we know they will grow up to be!<\/p>\n

We are happy to say that we will be taking a total of 851 food items and a donation of $150<\/span><\/strong> to the local food pantry!\u00a0 They can use the gift card donation for turkeys, hams, or other items that they cannot store on the shelves.\u00a0 A quote attributed to Mother Teresa states, “We can do no great things; only small things with great love.”\u00a0 Though the statistics about hunger in America are staggering, so many people in our community who might not have had anything to eat will now have food thanks to the loving people who participated in this food drive.\u00a0 Highlights from their holiday mini sessions<\/a> are on the blog!<\/p>\n

We end this year’s food drive with another big thank you to everyone who helped to “Show Love Through Actions<\/strong><\/span>” to make a difference in the lives of the less fortunate!<\/p>\n
