Good deeds are always noticed. Yes there are times you do good deeds and you think no one saw you. In fact someone noticed it. Sharing a meal with someone you know may not be the easiest thing to do. While people want help and are so very grateful. It most likely doesn’t feel good that you are in the place that you need help for a necessity like food. . When people help you that you know, your very grateful but can also be ashamed. So I choose to try out a new idea. Let’s take the face to face contact out of it for this particular person and let them know I care about them and their family. Words need not to be said but just knowing they will enjoy the goods and really appreciates them are enough for me.
My family and I gathered up all the essentials for a family meal. We placed it into a nice sturdy bag and tied it nicely together with a little note. We then placed the goody bag on our friends steps while they were inside. You can say we played a little ding dong ditch. We rang the door bell and booked it. We want them to enjoy the meal and be able to really enjoy being a family. We know how much they appreciate it and how much their children will as well.
Like I mentioned there are no words that need to be said. It’s delivered like a gift basket but much more appreciated. This felt great to give them some quality family time at a table during a meal they made. Also being able to have a full stomach and the kids going to bed happy. It’s the little things in life that take us by surprise.
Unilever Project Sunlight is an initiative focused on encouraging people to create a brighter future for children – by taking small steps to live sustainably, use less and share even more.
To help fight the issue of child hunger in the U.S., Unilever has partnered with the nation’s leading hunger-relief organization, Feeding America, which serves 12 million children each year.
With the help of Feeding America’s vast network of 200 food banks nationwide, Unilever has been able to contribute nearly 30 million meals** to families and children over the past five years which includes more than 13 million pounds of food and more than $3 million in support. “Project Sunlight was started on the premise of encouraging people to take small steps toward creating a brighter future for children, and we truly believe that small actions can add up to a big impact,” said Kees Kruythoff, President, Unilever, North America. “Unilever has a responsibility to be a part of the solution to this solvable problem, which is why we are rallying not only our consumers, but also our partners, retailers and employees to prove that there is power in numbers to help end child hunger in America.”
