I am a teacher at a Title 1 where most of our children are immigrants and are homeless. Seeing this video made me cry. Thank God for amazing people who do so much for our babies! My husband jokes that I work just to support my classroom... but there is no better joy than seeing a child get a pair of socks, a backpack, or even a toothbrush.

[@cthompson654]

Yes, I am an educator in a Title 1 school. If a child at least has decent food, they can flourish. It makes all the difference some times.

[@iaJENKA]

Sometimes people underestimate the impact that doing or saying something nice and encouraging to a child has on the world, but the reality is children remember and many of them go on and do a lot of good for a lot more people. I'm speaking from my own experience and the impact elementary school had on my life. It's really a ripple effect. You are doing a lot more good than you know. Thank you.

I have always told my husband that I would love to open a grocery store and all people could come in and get what they need at no charge. My mom got food stamps when I was a kid and we didn’t always have enough food. Brad Paisley and his wife have a grocery store like that in Nashville. It is an awesome story!

This is the most inspirational thing I have seen yet on KZbin. I love how sustainable it is. Goes to show you all it takes to support community with dignity is people with a good mindset running things. Not just let's give them stuff. I understand though that it took time to build.

[@proudmammaof6148]

This is by far one of the BEST videos that I have seen. Honestly touched by what this family is doing. Literally tears in my eyes. I am with Solo. When he said "it's a hand up not a hand out". What a powerful statement. There are so many areas that would benefit from having this in their neighborhood. Prayers for that family and all that they are doing. Thanks for the video. Stay safe.

Seriously!! I can not fathom why anyone would thumbs down this particular video🙄 I mean what could possibly have offended them? Was it the caring about the community, the maintaining of dignity, the beauty of the facility, the 20 years of hard work or maybe it was the helping hand up instead of a hand out?

[@TWestProductions]

We live in Omaha and attend Christ Community Church. We participate in a program similar to this, but it’s for Christmas gifts. People donate nice, unwrapped toys and fill a “store.” Low income families can come and shop for Christmas gifts at a greatly reduced cost, but they still pay for them, so they maintain their dignity.

Hi Sara and Solo. I have spent the last couple of months binge watching your videos. I found you because of your grocery hall videos and I have enjoyed watching your family and now that I am caught up on all of them....I feel like you all are part of my family and I can't wait for the next one. Now while I'm waiting for you to post another video, I am binge watching Camp David Adventures. My family and I are just getting over Covid and your videos have helped me get through it. I love you guys.....and if we never get to meet here on this earth, I'll look for you in Heaven. God Bless Your Family. ❤

[@sarahmartin3360]

I am a retiree and my son and I don’t use our food budget each month, so we use some it to purchase food for the food pantry at the church in our neighborhood. We are able to buy a lot of food. When buying food for the church pantry,I try to buy food that is mouthing and is healthy for them. In each week in the month, I do foods for breakfast for the first week, next I do foods for lunch, next I do foods for dinner or supper and next I do breakfast for the fourth week. Then my son delivers the bag of groceries to the church pantry. When I see food items on sale at any grocery stores I purchase them for future food to be used in the bags of food to be donated. I feel that we are helping others in need.

Our church has a unique opportunity to serve in this way as well because we hold our Sunday services (and everything for that matter) in an old school building which means we have a cafeteria and kitchen, gymnasium and classrooms.

Its a great idea, I am fortunate to live in Scotland where we get food directly from Italy, I can buy pasta sauce for 35p, pasta for 29p, we have deals in the supermarkets where they may have eight products for 29p like broccoli, turnip, a bag of carrots, bag of sprouts etc. It all helps when you have a family to feed. Every supermarket have donation bins as you leave the store.

This was wonderful. It humbles me to see this😪. I volunteer at my community food bank and Abused Women's and Children's shelter and I have never seen anything like this. This was amazing 🙏 This would really benefit communities in many areas. Where I am, we get a very small amount of grant and stipend money from the State and Government. We really almost solely on donations and buy what ever is needed to replenish. Very true that it's about serving our communities with dignity, but where I am , we get day old bread and bakery items, alot of produce and very little meats. I so wish things were different. I even extreme coupon shop to get very cheap personal hygiene items, shampoo, deodorant, ladies and mens products, snacks, underwear and socks to donate to the Veterans and homeless shelter, and the Abused Womens and Children's Shelter. Every little bit helps. Some of our area churches offer very small food pantries. I would love to be involved in a mission like this. I have always wantedtoopen a non-profit of some kind. . God Bless you all 🙏🙏 P.S. Grandma is doing great with the kids. Plus, your little girl's sang to us . Sweet little princess's 👸👑

[@vickiesimmons4076]

This is so wonderful. I remember a rough spell where I found myself unemployed in a new city and living on 1 income unexpectedly for 6 people. I ended up going to a food pantry and it was not a good experience, I felt shamed and the food was not good, etc. I'm glad it was only a short rough period and I didn't have to repeat that experience. Something like this is wonderful, I truly do believe that most people do want a hand up and not a hand out. God bless this ministry. I would 1 day like to have something like this, maybe even a free clothing store.

[@julievolk5033]

I just bought my first order of Bombas socks, as they donated socks to a local charity and I felt the need to do business with them. They make my feet feel amazing. What a blessing that church is to that city and the people there.

He would be a great mentor with all his knowledge and experience. Praying God richly blesses him and those he touches.

We also have a huge refugee population here and so many people would benefit from a store like this.

I can attest to the fact that it made their grades go up.

[@heatherruble3177]

We have a "Hope Center" at our church here in Sioux City, IA. Each person who comes in fills out forms to let us know how many people live in their household. Each family is assigned a certain amount of points based on their family size. All of the groceries have a point value. Then, a personal shopper (volunteer from the church) walks along side the person while they are shopping to help them meal plan and use their points. Then we walk them to the door, pray with them, and load up their groceries for them. Each person is allowed to shop once a week. All items in the store are donated. It is amazing to walk through this process with them. One person said to me "no one has ever prayed with me before."
