Gifts That Keep Giving
December 1, 2020
Life can take curious paths. One person, very active in the life of Food for Greater Elgin, had known that her mother had gotten food for the family at food pantries when she was young. They were poor, her mom was divorced, and the kids needed to eat.
Years passed by, and a company volunteer project brought her to FFGE. She was stunned: as she looked around at the guests she realized: “This was me 30 years ago. This woman is my mother, getting the help she needs for her children.”
We share the gifts that we have received by passing them forward, to others.
Give a gift that keeps giving today: donate to FFGE.
