Ten years ago, God put it on Kendall’s heart to do something to fight childhood hunger and food insecurity. It has been an amazing journey. What I love is that Kendall is as committed to her mission at age 15 as she was at age 5.

I don’t need to tell you about the squeeze that everyone is feeling at the grocery store these days. The need for those battling food insecurity is greater than it’s ever been. When you go to the store, if you grab some dry beans, rice, pasta, cereal, canned meat, veggies or fruits or any non-perishable foods, it would be a tremendous blessing to children right here in our community. If you don’t want to shop, you can give monetarily. As always, EVERY penny goes to providing meals for children. If you can’t give at all, please pray for Kendall’s Kampaign so Kendall can continue the work created for her hands and heart.

Thank you for your continued love and support.
