Children's lives were made better

Children's lives are made better with help from food pantries and food banks.

Donations to food pantries and food banks provide more than food to children in communities across America; millions of young people receive hope. When children are fed, they can be educated and overcome poverty. It is hard to be a critical thinker when you are hungry all day in school.

Twelve million children a year eat meals from food banks and pantries. But kids receive more than just food. Children can receive pencils, pens, books, toys, clothing, and arts and crafts. Parents get social services and medical referrals to help stabilize crises in their families.

The joy help brings. This holiday season, four large bags of food were provided to a mother of six children, and the mom was thrilled because her family had food on the family table this Christmas and New Year. But her daughter was even happier; the four years child's bright smile was one of happiness and joy. She received a children's bike with a pink and blue seat and handlebars.

This holiday season, people received food and gifts because donors like you helped provide food, children's gifts, and family household items to over 300 hundred families and neighbors thru Brooklyn Rescue Mission. Other organizations gave millions of meals and gifts to kids across the country. I want to give a shout-out to all those organizations and volunteers and staff and all our donors.

Please consider giving to Brooklyn Rescue Mission to help Match our special donor donation of $ 5,000 by December 31, 2023. Please visit Brmuhc.org to donate.

Thank you, and have a Happy New Year

Rev. Robert Ennis Jackson
