Teaching kids about giving
We all know it is important to teach our kids to give, but sometimes it is hard to find the perfect opportunity to let them be a part of the giving process.
Teaching kids about giving is easy when you can partner with local community groups like churches and schools that are doing community service projects.
The past few years our church, Journey Christian in Midlothian, has partnered with CCHASM (Chesterfield Colonial Heights Alliance For Social Ministry) to provide 2500 total Thanksgiving meals in the Richmond community (500 meals from Journey is the goal this year).
We were honored to be able to support this effort and give food to these families in need.
This year, Aidalyn is almost 3 and able to help and be a part of the process of packing the bags and learning just a little about giving in return.
We all went to the store with our list from CCHASM. Aidalyn had one buggy and Annaleigh had the other, haha. We filled up both!
We brought all the food home and sorted it into the bags to be able to take to the church. This was a good learning activity for Aidalyn too – both sorting and counting. She enjoyed it so much!
I can’t wait to be able to take the bags to the church on Sunday and let her see all the other people who are dropping off their bags too.
If you would like do donate to CCHASM as well follow this link.
I'm on a mission to make healthy living feel like a breeze – because who's got time for complicated recipes?
Join me as I share easy recipes, sanity-saving tips, and the everyday adventures of keeping it real with both my low-carb lifestyle and the unpredictable rollercoaster of mom life.
Let's swap stories, share laughs, and find comfort in the fact that we're all just doing our best. Welcome to Grassfed Mama – where carb counts are low, spirits are high, and mom buns are always acceptable!
Love this. Makes my heart so happy!
She had such a good time. We had a list of the items needed. She enjoyed going through the list and counting out the items.
