Every monday I volunteer at my kids breakfast school program. I have been noticing that some are in serious need. I picked a little girl and her sister to give a family hamper.
The teacher spoke to the VP and approved it first. The VP said " I hit it right on the head" for the family in need.
This could not of been done if I wasnt on this and learned how to coupon. Thanks Holly for all the great ideas with the hamper!! I told anyone in the office that would listen to me that I coupon and thats how the hamper was possible.

Thanks! It is very good to pay it fwd and give back. You never know who will end up in great need.
I wish I had more money to buy her some shoes right now... her one shoe has a huge hole in it. You can see the frront part of her foot and toes!!! Hopefully my hamoer will cut a bit of there grocery bill down and maybe they could afford to get her some used shoes.

Very nice work. And done anonymously so their dignity is kept intact.

Very nice.... What a loving & thoughtful thing to do!
Very sad to hear about her shoes. But in the meantime, perhaps you could find something decent at Value Village or Goodwill, and possibly include them in a basket. ( Just a thought).

Usually the school has some kind of fund, or donated items… maybe they could help get some 'new' shoes?
I'm making a hamper for a family I'm aware of at school. It's my favourite time of year!!
