Helping Others Who Lost It All

Received a call earlier about a family in the area that lost their home to a fire overnight. They are all safe thankfully, but lost everything.
A couple and three small children. Two dogs. All made it out and safe.
Local churches are taking up donations as they need everything.
I have three boxes ready for pickup tomorrow. They are sending someone around to pick up the donations. I already had boxes ready for Goodwill, so I decided to give to the family instead.
Also I found many items in the kitchen I will never use. Pots and pans, dishes, blender, mixer, all that have been sitting too long.
A great feeling to be able to help others in need. My heart goes out to this family.
Photo is mine. Brendel was posing as she relaxes.

Whenever I donate to something like this; I like to do either clothes or food. Sometimes; I might even something like a 100 dollar gift card and the people can get what they need.

Assisting persons in need is the best way to be happy not to mention getting blessings from God in the future.

@DocAndersen All I can say is you are too kind. I feel the same way. And will never change being myself.
Sorry about the food pics. Sorry. Not sorry.
