Community Involvement

One of our own Three Rivers Soccer Club families has been going through some tough times over the last year.  Some of our team Mom’s were trying to come up with ideas to help this family of six.  On Wednesday November 13th, the U15 girls team gathered at Simply Homemade in Naperville to assemble meal packages for this family.  Simply Homemade is a meal preparation service designed to take all the work and worry out of preparing dinner.  They do all the menu planning, grocery shopping, ingredient preparation and clean up.  We had the family choose from a menu of over 22 meal options.  The girls and some of the parents met at Simply Homemade to assemble the meals the family had selected.  All the family has to do is freeze the meals, and then cook them as needed.

So with monetary donations by the U15 team parents, the girls donned their aprons and hats and got busy preparing the meals. It was a night of team bonding, but for a great cause.  The event lasted almost 2 hours as they prepared 16 meals for this family paid for by the generous donations by the team parents!  A great time was had by all. Coach Humam was thrilled to see that almost the entire team sacrificed their night off to spend it together as a team helping out one of our own families. Humam and I delivered the meals that night to the family. We showed them the pictures we had taken and they were amazed by the number of girls that contributed to this event!  They couldn’t believe that we made 16 meals for them!  They were truly grateful and very appreciative that the girls gave up their night and stayed out late to prepare the meals for them. Well done U15 families!

After a follow up call to the family, they said the meals they had eaten so far were delicious!
