Pack A Sack For Kids #MobilizingMillions

My kids and I have donated a lot of things, from food, to clothes and toys. I think it's really important for them to recognize and acknowledge that they are people who have less than us, and that it is our duty to provide any extra assistance that we can.

Specifically, my daughter Truly is very big on asking and asking for toys. We have a talk at least once a month remembering how to be grateful and to give back to people and kids who are needing.

When we were given the opportunity to Pack a Sack for Champions For Kids, we jumped on board! Champions For Kids partnered with Abbot Brand Products to bring nutritional non perishable foods to local food pantries and food banks.

We spread the word through out our play groups about the campaign and we all prepared our items to drop them off together.


While we didn't have a sack on hand that wasn't already being crafted into something else, we decided to use on of our baskets that could be held by the children.


Addy helped us a little bit unload the groceries, but after lifting one too many cans, ran off to go change her clothes and roll on the kitchen floor.


With little sister giving up, big sister stepped in to finish the job. We started putting in our products that we could fit in our sack.


Even the more heavier items, she was more than happy to find a way to make it all fit!


After all was said and done, little sister decided to come back and take our final picture together before meeting our group at the drop off. Some of us took the items to the San Antonio Food Bank, while myself and a few friends to these to the Grace Community Church down the road.

  1. Easy to see how much fun the girls had, helping to collect donations to help other children - even if some of the items weren't very cooperative! It's so simple to make a difference that means so much to a child in need. Thanks so much for sharing you story!
