I have come full circle and finished my mitzvot! My second mitzvah was shopping for Thanksgiving Dinner for my CASA family. This year, I decided to create a Thanksgiving Food Drive for other families who are in need this holiday season as my last mitzvah. My generous friends donated $60 for each family, and we were able to fill a huge shopping bag with non perishable food and a gift card for a turkey for 25 families. Nine CASA families, 4 CYS (Children and Youth Services) families, and 12 families from Chester Community Charter School will benefit from Mitzvah #50 – Yeah!!

One of the best parts of this mitzvah was the shopping.  I love to inspire others.  Eight of us met in Giant to go shopping.  A man noticed that I was giving out lists and money and asked what we were doing.  I explained our mission and he said that he wanted to help.  so my new friend Clayton (first picture) shopped for one of the baskets.  It was nice to have the extra hand, and to include others in our community in this mitzvah.
