Primarily, I feel very grateful for everything that I’ve accomplished in business and have been given in life in general. If I have any kind of platform, I would like to use that to give back. Also, my mother instilled in me since I was very young to give back.
I was raised in the Catholic Church and we were always raising money for orphans. My parents were raised during the Depression era so we were taught to be grateful for what we had and not take anything for granted. My mom was always urging me to help people who are less fortunate.”
She also said that between No Kid Hungry and Project Angel Food, she has been with No Kid Hungry the longest. She explained, “No Kid Hungry came about because all across this country, there are kids not getting fed. It’s really quite shocking that this is happening and so widespread.
No Kid Hungry wants to make sure these children are getting some kind of sustenance. There’s even a bigger need now because of COVID closing down schools, which means these kids aren’t getting a regular lunch, so the only meal of the day some of them are getting is from No Kid Hungry.”
Eileen continued, “I had a lot of clothing that I had worn on shows and on the red carpet that I put up for sale [through Evolution Vintage]. The proceeds not only went to No Kid Hungry, but whatever the items sold for, I would match in donation money.
I got rid of a lot of great clothes that went to a great cause. It was also pretty fun to see my clothes on some teenagers for their proms. And through working with the Cameo app, I’ve able to donate thousands of dollars to both No Kid Hungry and Project Angel Food.”
