Giving Back

This Christmas we have been looking for ways to teach our children how to give back to others. Not just at Christmas, but throughout the year.

I’ve been talking to Hudson about children who do not have as many toys as he does, or children who do not have mommies and daddies to take care of them. He’s only 3, so he really can’t comprehend other kids not having everything that he has. He also can’t comprehend not getting toys at Christmas. And it just breaks my heart that not every child will have what he has. It’s our goal to help him become more aware and have a desire in his heart to help others and to give back to others.

That’s why I love that Hickory Farms is a supporter of No Kid Hungry®. No Kid Hungry is working to end childhood hunger in America by ensuring all children get the healthy food they need every day. Hickory Farms has contributed more than $4 million to No Kid Hungry since 2008. For every Signature Party Planner purchased this holiday season, Hickory Farms will donate $5 to No Kid Hungry. How great is that? 
Hickory Farms offers a wide variety of food gifts that are perfect for any budget and for everyone on yourlist this year. We loved our sausage and cheese box. It was so delicious!

Quality, freshness and value are key traits of Hickory Farms’ gift and products and you can really tell when you take a bite! I’m off to the mall to buy some more for gifts! Hickory Farms’ food gifts are available at Holiday Market locations nationwide and at leading retailers.
How are you giving back this season?
