A few of these pictures you have already seen but THIS event deserved its own post. Our preschool co-op collected canned goods for the local shelter/food pantry in our town. On Tuesday, I picked up Liz's minivan and her kiddos and we went to meet up with our crew to drop our things off... 
I organized the trip through a friend of mine from high school (and one of Husband's all time fav. athletes that he has coached :) Her Dad started the Thanksgiving baskets in their home when she was a little girl, giving out 200 baskets to needy families in our area... 
the food pantry now gives out about 2000 baskets... that brought a tear to my eye... and she has a hand in that even now...
she did SUCH a great job explaining to the kiddos why they collected the cans, and what they were going to do with them...
and then she let the KIDS sort their OWN cans. What a thrill for them!!
the pictures are blurry because they were moving so fast and working so hard :)
SO thankful to this girl for welcoming us in during their VERY busy time
and making us all feel so special and like we really did help....
It felt SO great to give BACK during this season and to feel like we were making a difference. Thanks MGG for saying YES!
