I have always thought about and looked for ways to help others. As I got older, I really wanted to find something that I could do that would also involve my children. I wanted to teach them the importance of giving rather than receiving. Shoving my old stuff into trash bags to deliver to Goodwill did not feel like I was doing enough.
I looked online to possibly adopt a family and was told that I could donate but not actually meet the family. I wanted my children to get involved and see first-hand that they can make a difference.
I created a completely free website designed to find people by zipcode to pass on items that our children have outgrown.
Check out the site at www.helpneighbors.com
Let me know if you would like to get involved - I would love your support:) |
