someone struggling with a door, giving out a coat to someone who doesn't have one, etc. When I saw this, I realized it was an opportunity to mix my passion for helping others and some great companies that would want to do the same.

For the most part, we tried to keep the selections allergy-friendly in hopes that if the family has someone with food allergies, they would know that we were thinking of them but also for a family who does not have food allergies, I wanted to be able to share great foods that they may not normally look for or even know exist. As you can see, each bag contains enough food items for a few meals as well as a note explaining why they were getting the bag of goodies.
I would also like to thank the people that helped me with this as well:
- Tess (& her manager Don too!) Community Table Lowes Foods Robinhood Road, Winston-Salem. They donated 10 bags which each included: 1 box of Van's cereal, 1 carton of Rice Dream non-dairy beverage, 1 box of Mueller's gluten free pasta and 1 carton of Pacific chicken broth.
- Michael & fellow helpers at Freedom Foods for sending 20 boxes of their Cocoa Crunch cereal (2 boxes for each bag)
- Kaitlin & staff at Winona Pure Oils for sending cans of their Popcorn Butter Spray oil with a special message attached
- Elizabeth & the wonderful ladies at SunButter Sunflower Spread who sent jars of their Creamy SunButter (So proud, THIS is why I am honored to blog for them!)
- Brothers-All-Natural Fruit Crisps for their packet of fruit crisps
I hope that these families enjoy what we have put together for them and I hope it let's them go to sleep tonight with a feeling of a bit more comfort and peace. I wish I could have done more, helped more families or provided more but this gives me a goal to surpass each year going forward. I encourage all of you to show someone that there are still good people in the world. There should be no looking back, only looking forward- how will you choose to do this in 2015 and the years to follow?
