Froggy, I agree it sounds good. I live about 3 hours east of Raleigh and about 30 minutes from the outer banks. I am helping put together a program at our church called " Kits for Kids ". We have 350 kids that live in the county of currituck which is where my church is. The reason for this is because these kids recieved free breakfast and lunch during the school year and free lunch during the summer months.The state of NC cut the budget for that program so now these kids don't have any food to eat during the day while they are out of school. We have been collecting food from various companys in our community to help these kids and there family. So far we are getting around 25 to 30 kids in our immediate area and are expecting 100 before the summer is over. Some of these kids and there family are so poor they can't even buy hygiene supplies,there shoes are so ragged it looks like there falling off there feet. We have a lady that has taken charge of putting nutrional type foods such as peanut butter certain types of bread and caned pasta,fruits,and many other items to do them for a whole week. I have been very blessed to be able to travel and sing all over the united states and even sing in Argentina while I was on a mission trip over there last November. I thought I had seen some of the pooriest families in my life until I saw some of the kids that we are helping in our on community. It just breaks my heart when they come to our church on Tuesday to pick up there food. I cry all the way home thanking God for what I have and to be blessed with not only my family put my church family. If you will PM me with some info I will give you my phone number so you can call me if you need any help with anything from in my area. Sorry to babble on so much but I am very passionate about kids.


God Bless
