Two years ago I caught a fever from the co-founders of HAMO. It was unexpected, this passion I have for our cause. Perhaps I was still feeling the effects of new motherhood – my children are still very young, after all – and certainly, I’ll never be the same, affected as I am by the plight of children who are hungry, abused, sick, or otherwise ill-fated. At any rate, I was caught by surprise and I have navigated the world of working for social good within the confines of my life and the grass-roots size of our little org.
Recently I met a woman who seems to be catching this fever from me. Her life is arguably busier than mine. As an entrepreneur and mother of 6-year-old twins, with her shops spread out all over Los Angeles, Debbie Goldberg is one of the dynamic sources of the Fresh Brothers Pizza business’s remarkable branding success locally. On top of it all she makes time to give back to the community. Once she learned about Help a Mother Out, she seemed to light up with recognition and she hasn’t backed down one bit.
Because of Debbie, all the locations of Fresh Brothers Pizza will collect diapers and monetary donations for HAMO on May 7 from 11am to 4pm. Donors will receive a coupon for a one-topping pizza as a thank you. That’s no pat on the hand thank-you. That is actually some tasty pizza.
Note that the Fresh Brothers event is the day before Mother’s Day. Of course, this is a big time for HAMO. We’re all about mothers. But May 8 is also Debbie’s birthday. She chose to make this time even more hectic for herself. She wanted this.
So many reasons to celebrate. I hope I see you there.
