Brenda decided to host her Friendsgiving in September. When brainstorming for her blog, she realized she would have a lot of work to do creating an entire holiday meal weeks before hosting another one, so she enlisted the help of friends to take some of the load off. Brenda had the cake, flowers and location of her event donated by friends and local businesses. Brenda thought, “If I am going to be hosting an entire thanksgiving meal for friends, I want it to help a good cause.” That is when she found out about No Kid Hungry and our Friendsgiving program.
“And in the spirit of the holiday season, it is so important to seek ways to give back to your favorite charities to support causes that are near to your heart. In my home, there is never any shortage of food or meals and we are so lucky for that. Undoubtedly, my children really take for granted the meals that they receive. Which is why No Kid Hungry and their mission really hit a chord with me. The thought of children and families who are struggling for the most basic necessity of nourishment makes me very sad, indeed.”
