Fifteen families, over 50 people, and 560 cans collected

huge success. Thanks to everyone for your hard work and your
enthusiasm!

The
first official Compassionate Kids event is a canned food drive
and field trip event to benefit the
Five Loaves & Two Fish Food Pantry of Griffin, Georgia.
(See directions below.) All
interested children, parents, and educators are invited.
Prior
to the October 29th event, children are encouraged (but not
required) to collect
canned food in their neighborhoods. (View and print the
flyers we created just for
this purpose.)
At
4:00 PM (please arrive early!), the manager of the food
pantry, Mr. Eddie Whitlock, will speak to the group about
what a food pantry is and the role it plays in society. He
will also talk about some interesting information about how many people are
served by this particular organization, etc.
 At
4:30 PM, a group photo will be taken of all the
Compassionate Kids present. Costumes are optional. As part of an
annual "Together We Can" event, children donating at least 10
cans of non-perishable food items will also receive a
certificate for a free portrait with
Rick
Blackshear Photography that afternoon or evening (before
7:00 PM) in his studio a few blocks away.
The
festivities will carry on until 6:00 PM. There will be a couple
of compassion-oriented arts & crafts activities,
snacks & drinks, a Compassionate Kids information table, and
two moonwalks - one full-sized and one for toddlers.
Special thanks to
Fun Factory Amusements for the donation of the large
moonwalk for this event.
Not

them to a food bank close to you. (View and print the
flyers we created just for
this purpose.) Even better, contact
us for information about starting another local chapter
of Compassionate Kids.
