Nick and Jack Day 3

Nick here:

Today my teacher talked to me about this project. She said I could share with my whole class. I am excited to talk to my class. I want my friends to help us. After school my brother and me got a can of food for the hungry. I got chicken soup because I think hungry people who are sick would like it.

 

Jack here:

 

Today I gotted stuff at the grocery and I went to the grocery. Mac'n Cheese and soup. I gived it to the poor. I like to give to the poor because they don't have that much money.

Mommy here:

I promise we won't be posting everyday. We just have so much news to share I can't help myself.  Today we heard from Nicholas' school and his principal sent us a very nice message. Here is just a portion of what she had to say:

Wow…This is a wonderfully, beautiful idea. I will be an active participant too. Each time I go to the grocery, I will purchase an extra canned good.

 



We are so happy to have her involved.  His school also shared our blog on their facebook page and dared our church community to participate. I hope they play along at home.

 

We also spoke with the Executive Director at the Free Store Food Bank who agreed to let us share their address and website. If you have canned food to donate in the Cincinnati area, you can bring them to 1250 Tennessee Avenue. Also visit them at Freestore Foodbank. We received a great email from them as well as an invitation to come down to their distribution center.  Here is a little bit of that email:

Thanks for reaching out and thanks for allowing your boys to get involved and to encourage others to get involved. We have always said that every donation, no matter what the size, will have an impact on our neighbors in need.
 

 I wish I could share all of the messages and words of encouragement we have received but we don't have the time or space.

Thank you for playing along at home! Send in your pictures to jmhdunaway@gmail.com
