Heartsgiving: A Latham Family’s Tradition of Giving Back
A Tradition of Giving Back
Since 2016, the Moffre family has been giving back to the community with their annual tradition called ‘Heartsgiving.’ Each year, they put together baskets, complete with items for a Thanksgiving dinner, and give them to local families in need.
From Humble Beginnings to a Milestone
When they first started the tradition, they gave away seven baskets. This year, they are preparing to give away their 1,000th basket. The family’s efforts have grown significantly over the years, and they continue to expand their reach by partnering with new organizations.
How It All Began
Kim Moffre, the family’s driving force behind Heartsgiving, 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 works for the Center for Disability Services and uses her connections to place the baskets with families in need.
The Power of Community
Moffre emphasizes that 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.
