YaiPaks’ Sherry Nicholson said, “we are beyond thrilled to be here today with Mother to Mother, and to be serving our military community. Our military families are dear to our heart, obviously, for so many reasons. Just being able to specifically love on these mamas who are in need, has been wonderful.” “And to have an opportunity to partner with the Oak Grove Gaming folks has been a blessing. We’ve come to learn that their heart for wanting to serve this community is tremendous. They gave us this space, and have been phenomenal in helping us make this day of giving happen.” Originally, items were available for E1 and E2 families, but Nicholson said they had actually announced that Day of Giving had been upgraded to include all military families in need. Formula, diapers, clothing, maternity wear, toys, and lots of really great items were available and free to help those “new mamas” just starting out.
