OUR HISTORY
Seven years ago, a group
of families from our subdivision decided to do something
charitable during the holidays. A monetary contribution
was made to the Food
Pantry in Waukesha. When we arrived at the Food Pantry,
the line was out the door and the parking lot was full.
We all were touched by the sight. During the last four
years, we expanded our efforts. Last year alone, we collected
over $3,721 and over-filled nine full
pallets with food from our neighborhood donations! Way
to go neighbors!!

A
special thanks to all the businesses that have gone
out of their way to help make our Food Drive a successful
one.

The Neighbors Helping
Neighbors Group (made up of neighbor families
from the Rolling Ridge and Meadowbrook subdivisions)
is proud to be able to help out fellow neighbors who
are going through hard times. Every family in our group
is thankful for the many blessings they have. Because
we are so blessed, we want to give back to our neighbors
in need.

| Our Neighbor Kids present
Karen Tredwell, Director of the Waukesha County
Food Pantry, the monetary contributions received
from food drive efforts. |
Just as important, we want our families'
kids to understand the fact that not all of our community
neighbors share the same daily benefits that we sometimes
take for granted. Through Neighbors Helping Neighbors,
our kids are learning that it is very rewarding to give
time, effort, and love to others who are in need -- rewarding
for our neighbors in need and for our neighbors
who help.
With this in mind, the Neighbors Helping
Neighbors group of families work hard each year on running
a Food Drive that supports the Waukesha
County Food Pantry. We have developed a special bond
with the Food Pantry and director Karen
Tredwell. We hope to continue our efforts each year
so that "Together
We Create A Special Neighborhood".
