    You never know what a random act of kindness can do for a family! This is something Me and my husband do every year instead of giving gifts to each other…some years we can do more some years we have to get creative! Please Everybody remember our elderly that may not have family close by or nursing homes …they love seeing kids and just someone to talk to! Thanks for doing these acts of kindness….hopefully it inspires others to do it too!

    If someone came up to me and handed me groceries I would cry. Not so much that I am desperate for it at the moment but that someone cared enough to do this for someone. I know several families that I would take it to who need it more than me and I would take it straight over to one of them.

    When my kids were small and I was a single mother scrubbing toilets and scrubbing floors for a living and trying to attend college too I would dream of someone like you coming into my life. I try very hard to help some who are in the same position I was in those years so long ago. I still don’t have much but I’m always willing to share what I do have. God Bless your family for doing this♥️

      I was in the same situation as you were, I was a single mom, with two small boys. I also scrubbed toilets for a living and got what schooling I could. I don't have much, but I will always help others and pay it forward. We've lived it and knew the feelings. The Somers are so great to do this for others. I'm happy God has blessed the Somers family to be able to do this. Truly Gods people.

I adore this kitty and they know that I’ll spoil her rotten and I do.

It would be hard to accept, but I learned a long time ago that if we can't learn to accept the kindness of others; we will miss the love & blessings of God. Giving & receiving love is all that really matters in life.

    I love doing things like that too. My husband and I were sitting in a local restaurant and noticed an old couple. God just laid it on my heart to pay for their meal. We told our waitress to tell theirs not to share who paid but that it was taken care of. They could have been rich or poor, but it didn't matter. We never talked to them. Left with such a blessing myself knowing they would be happy. If you haven't done anything like that, ask God to provide the opportunity. He will put the right people in place.

    Your prices are definitely higher, but not unreasonable considering the extra costs involved in shipping. But I have a small suggestion. Maybe include dried beans, bagged breakfast cereal, some canned veggies, and laundry detergent. I know that the canned veggies are not as good as fresh but they last a lot longer. As do the dried beans.
    Anyway, God bless you and your family this holiday season. Stay safe and stay warm.

    I love these videos. I would be skeptical about taking a random cart of free groceries
