Nashville Cricket Club joins hands with other community service organizations to help the needy

As the cold winter hits the Nashville area, utility bills go up and many poor families face the difficult decision of whether to pay for heat or food. Some lose their job, are hit by a natural disaster such as a fire or tornado and others are elderly without sufficient income to buy food.
In an effort to help those in need, the Pakistan American Friendship Association, along with Nashville Cricket Club and Bright Beginnings joined together to donate food and assemble crisis feeding boxes which will be distributed by the American Red Cross to families facing hunger when Second Harvest Food Bank is closed.
The children made cards of good wishes for each box. They then picked up a sack and packed the required items such as tuna, soup, vegetables, fruit rice, crackers, peanut butter and beans, in the bag placing their card on top. Completed bags gathered in the corner and grew to a quantity of 67 bags as the event winded down!

The children were truly “stars” for their efforts in serving the community and they decorated stars to wear around their necks. The children were also presented a certificate for participating in this community project.
The Bellevue fire department stopped by with their fire truck to talk to the kids about fire safety and let them tour the fire truck.
