This is a brilliant idea by The Farmers Wife. Spreading some good, we all need more of that these days.
Times are tough. Prices are through the roof right now and people are struggling.
An idea has been on my heart for some time and it just recently came together. Below you will see the kits I put together. I call these the BIRTHDAY PARTY STARTER KIT.
The idea stemmed from my own experience in struggling to know how I would properly afford Christmas for my kiddos 8 years ago. My husband and I weren't together at the time and life was hard. I clearly remember answering a knock at my door and finding some community members delivering a Christmas hamper for me and my kids. Pantry essentials, a giant turkey, toys and snacks. I was incredibly humbled. I would find cards addressed to me with cash and grocery store gift cards in my mail box at random times with no names or signatures. I felt the love of strangers when I felt really alone in this world and I didn't know how to ask for help.
Now years later, I am paying it forward. These kits are going to multiple local food banks in the area to help anyone who needs that bit of extra help I once so kindly received. They will be restocked as needed
Each kit includes:
▪️A foil baking pan to bake the cake in
▪️Cake mix
▪️Icing
▪️Candles
▪️Napkins
▪️Plates
▪️Jello
▪️Balloons
▪️Juice Packet
I know this doesn't begin to compare to the love I was shown but if these can help put a smile on a child's face on their birthday and ease abit of financial stress on a parent I am very happy to do it. 💟
