“Generosity arrives in many forms, but the most powerful moments are the ones we never see coming. This week reminded us that kindness can show-up out of the blue and change everything.”
Spring Lake Family Support Services (SLFSS) is deeply grateful for the unexpected generosity shown by Spartan Race Inc., Spring Lake, NC (7765 McCormick Bridge Rd, Spring Lake, NC 28390). On April 29th, 2026, we were surprised and truly moved to receive an email offering an extraordinary donation of Vandy Crisps (https://vandycrisps.com) for our community. Acts of kindness like this do more than fill shelves. They remind us that compassion still shows up unannounced, ready to make a difference. Ms. Samantha Lassman reached out with sincerity and purpose, and her message immediately resonated with our mission to serve families with dignity and care.
​
The scale of this donation is remarkable, but what touched us most was the heart behind it. As Samantha shared, they wanted to see the product “go to good use in the community rather than go to waste.” That simple statement reflects a spirit of stewardship and community partnership that we value deeply. Thanks to Spartan Race Inc., we are now able to place these snacks directly into the hands of our clients, many of whom are facing difficult times. Something as small as a bag of chips can bring joy, comfort, and a sense of being remembered.
Support like this fuels our work and inspires others to join in. When organizations step forward unexpectedly with generosity, it strengthens the entire community. Together, we can turn moments of surprise into lasting impact.
“Spring Lake Family Support Services (SLFSS) is deeply grateful for partners who believe in the power of community. When organizations choose to invest in families, they help create lasting change that ripples far beyond a single moment of giving.”

Cargill of Fayetteville awarded a generous donation to Spring Lake Family Support Services on April 28, 2026, a moment that energized our mission and reminded us why community partnerships matter. SLFSS CEO and Founder Ms. Debora Hudson proudly received the contribution, calling it “a powerful example of corporate giving that truly enriches communities.” This donation will directly meet urgent needs in our community by providing essentials such as food, clothing, hygiene items, and safe housing support for individuals and families who are struggling. It also allows our organization to support women and children in crisis with immediate care and stability, fund programs that promote self-sufficiency including job readiness and life skills, and respond quickly to emergency situations without delay. This funding will provide emergency assistance for families at risk of homelessness and ensures we can continue offering a one-stop-shop for unmet needs in our community. Cargill’s commitment to nourishing the world, protecting the planet, and strengthening local neighborhoods shines through moments like this, especially as their global giving surpassed one hundred sixty three million dollars in Fiscal Year 2022.
​
This gift is especially meaningful because Cargill’s grant process is invite only, underscoring the honor of being selected. Their corporate giving philosophy emphasizes supporting organizations that uplift the very communities where their teams live and work. As Cargill states, they are passionate about being a global leader in nourishing people and operating responsibly across the agricultural, food, industrial, and financial markets they serve. That passion was felt deeply during this award presentation, reinforcing the shared belief that “strong communities grow when businesses and nonprofits work hand in hand.”
SLFSS extends heartfelt thanks to Cargill Fayetteville for considering and supporting our mission, and for investing in the families we serve. We also express warm appreciation to Mr. Charles Biney and Ms. Nicole Vick for their gracious hospitality during the check presentation. Their kindness made the moment even more memorable and further reflected the spirit of community that drives both Cargill and SLFSS forward.
​​​​​​"More than just storage; it's Go Mini's kindness." When Spring Lake Family Support Services at the Kinsey House faced a critical infrastructure challenge, needing to repair our old storage shed while still needing a secure place to hold vital donated items for survivors, we knew we needed a partner with a big heart. Without hesitation, Go Mini’s Portable Storage of Fayetteville, NC stepped up to the challenge. They immediately provided a high-quality, secure portable storage unit, ensuring that our donors' generosity remained protected and organized while we restored our facilities.
​
This act of service goes beyond simple logistics; it reflects a deep commitment to the well-being of our community and the survivors we serve. By providing the space we needed to bridge this gap, Go Mini's allowed us to continue our essential work without disruption. Their rapid response and willingness to help highlight the kind of reliability and compassion that defines their business. We are profoundly grateful for their generosity and their dedication to supporting local non-profits.
​
We encourage you to support the businesses that support our community!
