Baskets of Hope – November 2020

Event 2020: Our first event, as you see, was small but spirited. We assembled and delivered baskets of food to local families, the beginnings of our garden of sunflowers.

The event came about in a rather round-about manner. A school counselor, with whom I developed a strong relationship with over the years, phoned to ask if we would prepare food baskets. I could not bear to tell her we’d made the painful decision to disband our group and vowed to do whatever I needed to in order to make it happen. Greatly assisted by loving family and friends, and grocery connections I had established during my tenure in the grocery business, and sheer grit and faith, we created the Sunflower Group. Despite the massive restrictions imposed by circumstances, we assembled and made up a small number of baskets for delivery. We will always be grateful to Blind Industries and Services of Maryland for their willingness to host us in their building, for as a small organization without our own facility, we needed a place large enough to hold all of our volunteers and supplies for the duration of the event. Giving food to those truly in need of it was a wonderful experience for all of us and left us with memories we will forever treasure.
