Wanted to give a big thanks to our Carmel friends that came out this weekend! It was great to see some long timers that have been MIA for a minute. š
We even had a few donations for the start of our food drive! š Thank you!!! These donations will be heading to the little free neighborhood pantries across Indy as theyāre collected. šŖ
I chose to make our donations to these pantries because itās a beautiful, yet simple idea! My mom was a single mom of two for several years. She did all she could, even working up to 3 jobs. She is also a proud woman and hated asking for help and would avoid it at all costs if she could. We were lucky that family friends or school staff helped as they could. They nominated us for help through the holidays to different charities. It takes a village, right?
The point of the story is this would have been an option I know my mom would have utilized. I know thereās others out there that also try to avoid asking for help if they can. Myself included. We are all in this together, friends, and we have to look out for one another! Every little bit helps!
See you all in a couple weeks! āļø
