Donating Groceries to WIC + Starting a New Series Helping Families

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure policy.

There was a time in my life when putting food on the table was really hard.

When my husband was in college and we had our first baby, programs like WIC helped our family get through a difficult season. Those groceries made a real difference for us when we needed it most.

Because of that experience, giving back has always been important to me.

In today’s video, I’m sharing that story and donating groceries and essentials to organizations that help families in our community. I also announced a brand new series where we will occasionally help families restock their kitchens.

This is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time, and I’m incredibly grateful that this community makes it possible.

A Full Circle Moment

Years ago, WIC helped my family when we were struggling financially.

Those grocery checks helped us buy things like milk, cereal, eggs, and other basics when we didn’t have much. I remember how meaningful that support was during that season of life.

Now that our channel has grown, I wanted to go back and give to the same kinds of programs that once helped us.

In this video I:

Donate baby blankets and diapers
Purchase groceries for donation
Deliver food to our local WIC office
Donate additional food to Tabitha’s Way Food Pantry

Organizations like these quietly help thousands of families every day, and it felt really meaningful to be able to support them.

A New Series: Helping Families Restock Their Kitchens

This video also introduces a new series we’re starting on the channel.

In upcoming episodes, we may travel to visit families and help restock their kitchens — filling their pantry, refrigerator, and freezer with food and essentials they need.

This is not a giveaway or contest. It’s simply a video series where we occasionally help families who are going through a difficult time.

Unfortunately we won’t be able to help everyone who applies, but we truly appreciate every story that is shared.

If you or someone you know could use a little extra help right now, you can share your story or nominate a family here: https://juliapacheco.kit.com/shareastory
