Kate Henshaw partnered with the Lagos Food Bank Initiative for a special TEFAP outreach at the Food Bank warehouse in Ikeja, Lagos to mark her 55th birthday. Joining dedicated staff and volunteers, she actively participated in packaging and distributing nutritious food boxes filled with essential staple items, helping to provide timely relief to vulnerable widows and their households.
"I have more than enough.♥️🙏🏻
Not because I have everything I could ever want, but because I have learnt to recognise the abundance in my life — and I believe that when we have enough, we should make room for someone else at the table.
Four of my dear friends joined me at the Lagos Food Bank, where we shared dry food items and cash with 55 incredible widows.
This wasn’t about charity for the cameras. It was about connection. About looking another woman in the eye and saying, I see you. You matter. You are not forgotten.
I am deeply grateful for every blessing God has given me, and my job is to honour it, strengthen it and keep it moving, as long as God gives me breath. 🙏🏽
We may not be able to help everyone, but we can all help someone. And sometimes, what feels like a little to you can mean so much to another person.
May we never become so consumed with what we are still asking for that we forget how much we already have.
Thank you my darling son @ harmonihie for adding to my support. Love you to the max ♥️♥️
And may our gratitude always find expression in giving. 🙏🏽❤️

Speaking at the outreach, Dr. Michael Sunbola, Executive Director of the Lagos Food Bank Initiative, expressed sincere appreciation to Kate Henshaw for consistently using her platform to uplift others and for choosing to celebrate her birthday through an act of service. He commended the volunteers for their unwavering commitment and noted that partnerships such as these continue to restore dignity, strengthen communities, and bring hope to families facing food insecurity.
For the beneficiaries, many of whom are widows carrying the responsibility of providing for their families under difficult circumstances, the support extended far beyond nourishment. Alongside nutritious food boxes, each widow received a cash gift of ₦40,000, providing additional relief to help meet pressing household needs. Together, these acts of generosity eased the burden of uncertain meals, brought comfort during a challenging season, and served as a reassuring reminder that they are not forgotten. One widow, her eyes filled with gratitude, quietly offered a prayer of thanks as she received her package, a simple yet deeply moving moment that captured the true impact of the day’s outreach.
This outreach reflects the Lagos Food Bank Initiative’s mission to combat hunger and malnutrition through targeted interventions such as TEFAP. Kate Henshaw’s decision to commemorate her 55th birthday by supporting 55 widows stands as a powerful reminder that life’s most meaningful milestones are those that create hope, restore dignity, and leave a lasting impact on the lives of others.
