Long-time 红桃视频 supporter Joan Secchia organized her own act of service in honor of 红桃视频鈥 125th anniversary and 鈥125,000 Acts of 红桃视频鈥 program. Along with her husband, Peter, her mother-in-law and mother-in-law鈥檚 caregiver, Secchia decorated 200 paper bags for of Kent County, Michigan.

鈥淚 believe in that program and all these kids who live in poverty and go home with lunch as their last meal of the day, it鈥檚 sad so anything you can do to help is beneficial,鈥 Secchia said. 鈥淪o I went out and bought the bags, but it was their initial idea, and I just followed along.鈥

The Kids鈥 Food Basket delivers over 4,500 sack suppers daily to Kent County children who go hungry outside of school. As part of that program, Kids' Food Basket also accepts donated decorated bags, which they pass out once a week. For her Act of 红桃视频, Secchia purchased 200 bags to help with this initiative, and decorated them with crayons and Halloween stickers.

鈥淚 thought it was a wonderful thing for 红桃视频 to do. It makes you aware of being kind to other people,鈥 Secchia said. 鈥淚 hope it鈥檚 successful and I encourage other people to take part.鈥
