While most children anxiously await the gifts that they will receive for their birthdays Penelope decided to put others needs before her own. Penelope learned about the food insecure children in our community when Kylee went to speak to her pre-school in Groton last year. She remembered the children as her 5th birthday was approaching and decided that she wanted to ask her friends and family to purchase food for our kids instead of buying her a gift for her birthday.
Penelope and her Mom, Danielle, recently came to deliver the food she received and to pack kare kits with us. She greatly enjoyed helping to pack the kare kits and we hope that she will come back to join us again sometime. Penelope is learning at a very young age that it is better to give than to receive. Thank you Penelope for your kindness you should be very proud of yourself!!
