On August the 8th 2013 a group of single mothers with children gathered at the Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation for yet another Shop EHHF Pantry. This time, each family received as much food as they could carry!
The generous donation of healthy food consisted mostly of frozen foods. Were it not for the refrigerator which was recently donated to Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation by Kimo’s Appliances there would have been no way to preserve and store all the precious foods!
Among the items distributed to financially hurting single mother families were all-natural, high fiber frozen waffles and a whole variety of frozen organic fruit.
A Real Bounty of Healthy Foods!
Many families have gathered, some participants – especially the youngest ones! – were somewhat impatient.
The food has been divided and each family present received several boxes of food, so much in fact that some had to resort to using shopping carts to haul the bounty of healthy foods home!
The staff and volunteers were busy zooming around: helping to divide food among the attendees, helping to load cars and shopping carts.
The mothers were elated; kids, not quite as much. Some were outright bored and becoming cranky. The cure? What else? TOYS!
Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation helped to raise tired children’s spirits by inviting them to choose and take some toys from its charity store.
In the end, EVERYBODY was equally delighted: the struggling single moms, the kids, EHHF’s volunteers and Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation’s Founder. Last Thursday may not have radically changed lives, but it certainly lightened the burden of numerous disadvantaged single mothers.
