LATHAM, N.Y. (NEWS10) – Since 2016, the Moffre family have been giving back to the community with their annual tradition called ‘HeartsGiving.’ Each year they put together baskets, that come complete with items for a Thanksgiving dinner, and give them to local families in need.
When they first started the tradition, they gave away seven baskets. This year they are preparing to give away their 1,000th basket.
“I partner with organizations that help me place them with families in need. Center for Disability Services, Ronald McDonald House, the Melodies Center,” said Kim Moffre.
Each year the family expands their efforts and aims to add a new organization to their list. Moffre, who works for the Center for Disability Services, was inspired to start the tradition after helping her son create similar baskets for his local gym growing up. After he graduated with a black belt, she wanted to keep the tradition going.
Moffre says ‘HeartsGiving’ wouldn’t be possible without the donations and support from both her family and the community. If you would like to support the cause, you can contact Kim Moffre at 518-542-7706.
