She explained the 30 families were given blankets, clothes and food hampers. They also received soup and bread during the event.
During their visit to the old age home, they then handed out adult diapers and party packs filled to the brim with snacks for them to enjoy.
The purpose of our organisation is to reach out to the less fortunate. We are Christians and our faith exhorts us to help the needy and bless others through giving.”
She explained to them it was an honor to be able to spread hope, show love and encourage the needy that they aren’t alone or forgotten.

“It was also encouraging to us that whatever we have, whether we think is a little or a lot, it can make a big difference in someone else’s life. We shouldn’t take anything for granted.”
Veronica said it was a very humbling, yet fulfilling experience and they can’t wait to do more.
