The images above feature my son and his cousins helping out at The Little Food Pantry in Hampstead, Maryland. Every other Thursday, we work together to unload and distribute food while restocking the after-hours pantry for those in need.

This experience is incredibly meaningful to me, not only because it allows us to give back to our community, but also because it teaches my son the value and fulfillment that come from helping others.

I encourage everyone to find ways to give back—it’s a deeply rewarding experience that brings a sense of purpose and connection while making a positive impact.
