Initiating Kindness

Due to Covid, we took a small break in our monthly initiatives. We are happy to announce that we are back to cooking monthly meals for those who need it most. 🎊🥳

🚨🚨🚨Announcing our next initiative on March 26!
Please consider donating on our gofundmepage or through our email account! If you’d like to volunteer and help us cook the meals please DM us for more info! Thank you all for your continued support ❤️

This holiday season consider making a small donation to help feed someone in need. In January we will be serving chicken and mashed potatoes to those in need. Every $1 you donate would make an impact.

Thank you to ❤️❤️❤️ for supporting our organization! check out her page! Your kindness makes all the difference!

Initiating Kindness updated their website address.

Food insecurity isn’t just an issue for those facing homelessness. I think we might be surprised how many of own family and friends might have faced it at one point of their lives. I learnt the cost of food at a very young age. I would always get this sinking feeling when the cashier starts scanning my grocery items. My eyes would be glued to the screen to make sure that the prices were accurate. Once the total amount went a littler higher than my budget, I would tell the cashier that I didn’t want that item with a nervous smile, hoping that they wouldn’t judge me. Usually it’s the cheese and expensive fruits that go back immediately. Grocery shopping would always give me anxiety and learning to cook on a budget as a young adult was a skill that I was struggling to master. The worst was when I didn’t budget for food properly and had to wait for my next paycheque to have a proper meal. Fast forward ten years later, grocery shopping still gives me anxiety even though I can probably afford anything I wanted. Every time I am in line and someone is returning items at the counter because they can’t afford it or buying an insanely ridiculous amount of Mr. Noodles packets, if reminds me of myself. It might seem like a simple act giving one meal. But I know if someone had offered me a free homecooked meal when I was trying to make ends meet, it would have meant the world to me. That is why when my insanely talented husband suggested starting a non-profit a year ago, I didn’t remind him of the million other responsibilities we have and said yes immediately.
