volunteer work

So I have been working at a foodbank for a year now and my bleeding heart aches for some of our clients. I wish i could do more for those who truly are trying and just need a helping hand. I am trying to get some more donations in and more rescources to help these people in my community. I am no where near rich but I am thankful for what i have and that I can atleast provide basic needs and some small luxeries for my children. I never realized once i started this job, how upsetting it could be everyday. I hope I can continue this work and expand to helping not only with food, but clothing and also school supplies for the children on our community who needs them. As a parent i can say that if you have nothing else but to just know your child basic needs are met you feel grateful and to just be able to give small luxeries such as a new back pack or a new lunch box brings joy to the parents and the children. The whole point in my blog today is just to say be thankful for what you have and instead of throwing items out donate them to your local shelters, food banks. I know many people and children can benefit from used back packs , clothes household items.
