So we were asked how we started this idea, this mission. We have been donating books and bears to local hospitals for a little while now. We even got the owner of Build-A-Bear Workshops to donate some bears a year ago!! We also donated some care packs, crayons, books, coloring pages, and toys to hospitals.
Then we were invited to volunteer for "Feed My Starving Children" and we were deeply moved. In three hours we made over 600 meals for families in Africa!
It felt so good to help someone in need. We started thinking about all the hungry families. There are hungry families right here in the U.S.! Many children go to school hungry, not being able to concentrate on their school work. With the crisis that is happening now, it's even more prevalent.
Thus our mission was "born"! We CAN make a difference in this world! We can make this difference one CAN at a time :) Won't you consider donating one canned item, or twenty? I am sure some child's tummy will be eternally grateful!!!
