It first began when I was a little preschooler , and our school was getting food for the Food Bank . I remember I wanted to empty our whole pantry ! Then , that same year I started my first ever helping others project . We did a food drive with our friends and neighbors ! The next year I did buddy packs and put up flyers . This finally brings us to Boys and Girls Club . I have been raising money for Boys and Girls Club for the last three years , and it has been wonderful . I absolutely love Boys and Girls Club . The reason I picked them is probably because of how well they take care of the kids . I helped raise money for gift cards for three Christmas parties . I enjoy seeing the happy and joyful looks on the kid ’ s faces when they get their presents . It ’ s just little things like that that make me want to help Boys and Girls Club and other groups that help the kids and families of Columbia . I am so thankful to have wonderful family members and friends to support me and all the businesses that helped by putting up flyers ( Angelo ’ s , Bank of Missouri and Kilgore ’ s ). I also want to say a huge thank you to Scotty and Cara at Clear 99 for talking about me on their station ( I love their station ) and Facebook page . We keep having to increase our goal because so many people are helping me . Last year our goal was $ 3,000 , but we reached $ 4,000 . Next year we are going for $ 5,000 . If you want to help me or find out more about my project , then you can go to my facebook page at Jack Stubbs Helping Other ’ s Project . I hope that when you see a chance to make a difference , you take it and make the world a better place little by little .
