On September 17, Macaroni Kid publishers across the country will come together to create an Act of Kindness in each community. This year Macaroni Kid readers voted to support The Real Life Center, an organization that provides necessities for living, while equipping people for life.
HERE’S HOW YOU CAN HELP
Visit a participating local business and donate food items for The Real Life Center. They really need:
- Food (Peanut Butter, Jelly, Rice, Crackers, Spaghetti Sauce)
- New packages of kids size socks and underwear
Each participating business has agreed to offer a discount or freebie in exchange for your donated food items to support The Real Life Center.
We invite you to support The Real Life Center while having a good time with your family!
