Breakfast is so IMPORTANT and your DONATION helps make a DIFFERENCE to so MANY!!!

The Benefits of Breakfast.........

Boosts Energy and Brain Function...

After a night of fasting, your body needs fuel to get going. A nutritious breakfast:

Restores glucose levels, your brain’s main energy source.

Improves memory, focus, and problem-solving.

Helps with mood and reduces irritability or fatigue.

Our Community continues to Reach DOWN DEEP to offer HOPE and LOVE to our COMMUNITY!!!

Our Loving COMMUNITY DOES THIS!!!

Thank you for all the wonderful comments that you send in! It is a Pleasure and a GIFT to share the comments with our community!

Many problems in this world are caused by focusing on a few negatives instead of the overwhelming positive. We can change the world by knowing a few negatives are a small price to pay. You Ron Rea are changing the world! What this 8 year old will take from this lesson is to keep giving his 86 cents because it is more about the "giving" than about the "taking" that makes this a kind and caring world. His 86 cents is pure love.

Thank you for your donations and the HOPE and LOVE they bring to so MANY!!!

I am eternally thankful every time I fall into a rough spot financially and don't have to starve thanks to you Ron Rea, and all of your beautiful supporters and that amazingly kind young lad. If this comment gets shared with the young boy I would love to tell him this: be the kindness you want to see in the world, do what you can to help others, don't judge people to the best of your ability, and never forget, some people out there to terrible, greedy things, every day, it's unfortunately a fact of life, but every one of us who makes good decisions, and does everything we can to care for our family, our friends, our communities, we are the lights of the world. You are a bright light kiddo, what you did was beautiful and I have so much respect for you, don't let bad people make you frightened to do good things.

Yesterday my post asked the community to share some thoughts on HOPE and GIVING for the Eight Year Old Boy who gave his whole world....86 CENTS to help others!!

https://www.facebook.com/calumetfreefridge/

The response has been wonderful and I will post some of the comments the next few weeks in hopes that the young boy will see them someday!

The life of that Mother and Young Boy that used to use The Calumet Free Fridge and Food Pantry often FOREVER CHANGED that day he gave so much from his HEART to help our COMMUNITY!

I have not had the pleasure of seeing him or his mother again, and I take Great JOY in knowing that GOD changed their lives that DAY!!

Below is the first of many comments that the community wanted to share with that young boy......
