This week’s installment of Time to Cry Tuesday is about kids helping kids.
Through a wonderful organization, my neighbor’s kids organized a mega bake sale this weekend. While other kids were swimming, riding bikes or going to the beach, this group decided to make a difference.
Share Our Strength is committed to end child hunger. Their latest program is the Great American Bake Sale. Presented by Domino and C&H sugars, 100% of the funds raised from this national campaign go towards feeding kids. The most rewarding part is that the funds stay local, supporting after school and summer feeding programs.
Professionally, being involved in designing turn-key programs in the past, I am impressed with how comprehensive the program is. They supply all sorts of materials to make the bake sales a success.
As a community member, and a mom, I am touched by the commitment of these kids to help those who are in need.
To quote my fave new Dave Matthews song:
Funny the way it is
If you think about it
Somebody’s going hungry
And someone else is eating out
These kids get that big time. And not only do they get it, they are doing something about it!
