A staff story
Richie had been volunteering with Feeding Hands for three years. He thought he understood the impact of giving… until one moment changed his life forever.
It was the week after Christmas. Richie had just handed groceries to a mother struggling to make ends meet. As she turned to leave, he gently offered her a few of the remaining donated Christmas gifts.
She paused. Then, with tears streaming down her face, she whispered, “Now I can give my children a Christmas.”
Richie stood there, overwhelmed. He hadn’t just handed her a gift—he had restored a mother’s dignity, hope, and joy. As they cried together, Richie realized something profound: this wasn’t just a moment for her. It was a turning point for him.
That day, Richie made a life-changing decision. He retired early—not to slow down, but to lean in. He joined Feeding Hands part-time, dedicating himself to a life of purpose: serving others, lifting burdens, and helping families like hers find light in their darkest moments.
“I came here to give,” Richie says, “but I never imagined how much I’d receive.”
Every gift matters. Every dollar brings warmth, hope, and healing.
You can be the reason a mother doesn’t have to choose between food and gifts. The reason a child feels seen. The reason someone like Richie finds purpose.
Give today. Change a life. Maybe even your own.
