Once again, Monkey Girl asked her friends to bring donations to the local Food Pantry, in lieu of gifts.
And, once again, her generous friends brought both.
The picture above shows the donations to the Food Pantry, which she is thrilled about.
This year, in particular, she is so excited because our school district runs a fundraiser called Coins for a Cause, where students collect their loose change, and then, in April, vote for one out of three charities that will receive all of the proceeds.
This year, the Food Pantry is one of those organizations, and she is hoping beyond hope that it wins.
I think she’s given them a nice start already!
Proud of my girl.
Very cool!!

Helping develop a social conscience in children is always worth the effort!!! Our food pantry is my favorite charity down here as well :0)

Thx, Carla! She loves taking it down and having them weigh it and seeing how many pounds she’s donated. She always tries to figure out how many families that amount of pounds will feed. Proud of her! 🙂
