Great give!! I've heard that so many food banks have such low stock. Horray for you to give so much food when it is desperately needed!
Welcome, Selena! SO glad you are here. great give to your sister!
Theraflu... the gift that keeps on giving during flu season. I bet a hundred bucks they appreciated it!
Profile Information
- Why I'm choosing to give:

- What I'd most like to receive:
- I friendly smile and new connections with people/
- How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
- The book
- About me:
- I am a 27 year old mother of a very energetic 3 year old. I have a love for fitness and helping people. I recently quite my job because I was very unhappy. I didn't see myself advancing and I didn't look forward to going to work every morning. I decided to quite my job because life is too short to be unhappy and I didn't want to look back on my life wishing I had persued my dreams or goals. I want my daughter to know she can do anything and I will be her #1 cheerleader, supporting her every step of the way!

Gift 2 - Food Donation
I was very big on couponing a couple months ago so I accumulated a LOT of food that wasn't neccesarily the healthiest. Rather than throw the food away I decided to donate the food to my local food bank, Harvest Hope Food Bank. It turned out that I was able to fill 8 grocery bags of food. I know the Holdiay Season is upon us so I know someone will benefit from the food.

Day 1 - Gift of Medicine
I started my 29 days of giving today. I spoke with my sister today and she didn't sound very well so I asked if she needed any medicine. She said "yes." She asked if I could pick up my niece from school and drop her off as well and I did. Today my gift was Theraflu I had in my cabinet and I picked up my niece for my sister since she wasn't feeling very well. I look forward to giving tomorrow!
