Back to School Friends & Helpers Event 8/14/2009

August 14, 2009-

The first ever 4GOOD participating event...here is where it all started.
We discovered a wonderful organization called Friends& Helpers - a unique grass roots charity organization that has been around since 1992 helping abused women and their kids as well as many other people in our community who need help.

We found out about their back to school program for kids who needed supplies so we decided to purchase some supplies and bring our own kids to help stuff back packs on the day of the event.

It was amazing- not only did it feel great to get out there and do something to help, the truly amazing part was to watch our kids having fun while making a real difference. It was exactly why we started this group.

The best part was when my 9 year old, Izak said, " this was so much fun - it really makes me feel good that I am helping other kids who need our help." Gave us chills and tears in our eyes!

Great job Rosalind, Izak and Eli! You inspired us and hopefully many other kids and families to give back!
