Growing up I remember doing a lot of charity projects with my mom. One of the ones that stuck with me was this. Every month she would get a box and fill it with groceries and give it to someone in need. It could be a family relative, a coworker, a neighboor or just a stranger.

You see my Mom has a big heart! She ALWAYS gives, and never asks anything in return… and my friends I hope to be like her!

Today I’m sharing with you a super easy idea for a project to do with your family, it doenst have to be monthly it could be a once in a while when you have extra change thing.

The BOX Project:

Every month while grocery shopping, if there is a sale on a can of peaches of example. Grab one for your family and 1 for your box. If you do this often during the month you wont have to do it all at once. Unless you have set some money aside. What should you include? Here a list of things that are always needed:

  • Canned goods, such as peaches, corn, apple sauce, tuna
  • Bread, Cake mixes, jello, Non- Perishable items
  • Pasta, sauce and any ingredient that would help make this a meal
  • Toiletries {Such as toothbrush, toilet paper}
  • Soap, shampoos, body washes, cleaning products as well {Make sure to put these separate}
  • First aid kit {Or just bandaids}
  • You can always Make a meal for the family if you ask them first.
  • Either the Day of or night before delivery, you can buy things like: Milk, cheese, yougurt, anything from the frozen section.
