A story of kindness

Hello, beautiful souls! Today, we have a heartwarming story to share with you. It's a story about kindness, compassion, and the power of community. It's a story about The Crider Foundation and our latest Grocery Giveaway recipient, Amy Hackler, a hardworking mom from Dublin, Georgia.

At The Crider Foundation, we believe in the power of kindness. We believe that kindness is contagious, and one act of kindness can inspire another, creating a ripple effect that can transform communities. We believe that when we show kindness to one another, we create a world that is a little bit brighter, a little bit warmer, and a lot more loving.

Our story begins with a conversation. Amy reached out to us, sharing her struggles with making ends meet. Despite having a job, she was barely covering rent, and her power bills were sky-high. She was at a point where she had to choose between groceries or electricity. It was a situation no one should ever have to face.

We listened. We empathized. And we acted.

Our founder, Alysha, personally connected with Amy, guiding her through the process of receiving assistance. Alysha reassured Amy that she was not alone and that The Crider Foundation was there to help. We worked together to figure out what Amy and her family needed most - food and assistance with her power bills.

We placed the order through Walmart, and soon, the groceries were on their way to Amy's home.

We watched with bated breath as the little car on the Walmart app made its way to Amy's house. The anticipation was palpable as the car got closer and closer, and finally, it arrived! The groceries were delivered!

Amy sent us photos of her and her son with their groceries. The joy on their faces was priceless.

Her son, holding his favorite Doritos Cool Ranch chips, had a smile that could light up a room. It was a beautiful moment, a testament to the power of kindness.

Amy thanked us for the kindness we had shown her. She told us that everything was perfect and that she was grateful for the help we had provided. We were just as grateful to Amy for allowing us to show her kindness.

Amy's story is a testament to the power of kindness. It shows that kindness can make a difference, that it can change lives. We are proud to have been able to help Amy and her family, and we are committed to continuing our mission of spreading kindness.

Remember, kindness is contagious. Let's spread it far and wide. Let's create a world filled with kindness, one act at a time. Because at The Crider Foundation, we believe that kindness matters. Always.

Moments That Matter: Celebrating Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day from The Crider Foundation! This is a time to celebrate the love, care, and dedication that mothers provide for their families. We recognize the tireless efforts of mothers, who often work behind the scenes to keep their families healthy, happy, and thriving. Mother's Day is a chance for us to express our gratitude and appreciation for all the ways in which our mothers enrich our lives.

But it's also important to recognize that for many mothers experiencing poverty, Mother's Day can be a difficult time too. The financial struggles of poverty can make it challenging for mothers to provide basic necessities for their families, let alone celebrate special occasions like Mother's Day. We stand with those mothers and families because kindness is contagious - a little bit goes a long way!

At The Crider Foundation, we believe that kindness is the key. Our mission is to help those who may fall through the cracks of traditional aid systems. We understand that poverty can be a complex issue, and that many families experiencing poverty do not qualify for government assistance or other forms of aid. Th at's why we are committed to providing support to those who need it most through our "Grocery Giveaway" and "Spotlight Donation" programs. We believe that every person deserves access to the tools and resources they need to thrive, and we will continue to work tirelessly to make that a reality.

Once again, Happy Mother's Day to all the incredible mothers out there. We hope that this day is filled with love, joy, and appreciation for all that you do. And to those mothers experiencing poverty, know that you are not alone. The Crider Foundation is here to support you, and we will continue to work towards a brighter, more compassionate future for all.

Changing Lives One Donation At A Time

We are thrilled to report that The Crider Foundation had a very successful first quarter! Thanks to our generous donors, we were able to complete several donation projects that have positively impacted the lives of 14 families in need. We implemented the "Grocery Giveaway" and "Spotlight Donation" programs, and we are extremely proud of the help these programs were able to provide.

Our "Grocery Giveaway" program has been a huge success. Through this program, we have been able to purchase and deliver groceries to community members in need free of charge. This has been a lifeline for many families struggling to make ends meet, and we are proud to have been able to help. The first "Grocery Giveaway" recipient, Gina expressed her gratitude on social media after receiving her grocery delivery, saying "the work they are doing to help others in need has literally fed my family and made a difference in my spirit today. They rock!"

The Crider Foundation also implemented the "Spotlight Donations" program, which allowed us to meet a variety of different needs in the community, from home repairs to financial assistance.

We are especially proud of our biggest Spotlight Donation this quarter, the donation of a car to The Bush Family, who was in desperate need of a vehicle in order to properly care for their household of seven. Several members of the household are elderly and require specialized care, but could not receive it due to a lack of transportation. The Crider Foundation partnered with a car dealership local to where the family lives to purchase and donate to them a used car. This was our largest donation, with a significant portion of the cost being donated by our very own team members.

Our "Spotlight Donation" program is our most versatile donation type. This program made it possible for us to provide a life changing donation to The Davenport Family. The Crider Foundation organized a donation project for this family due to their unique situation. In addition to food, the Davenport family received beds for the children, multiple home repairs (wall repairs, window replacement, and lock installation), and a monetary donation. In the end, The Crider Foundation completed this project in under two months and it cost less than $250.

We are committed to continuing to offer help through our donation programs, but we can't do it without your support. We are asking the community to donate to our cause so that we can continue to make a positive impact in the lives of those who need it most. Thank you for your continued support of The Crider Foundation. Together, we can make a difference in our community.
