After we got home from Bennett Spring we had a family field trip to Harvesters. Such a great experience for the girls and I only cried twice! I just can't bear the thought that there are 18,000 kids getting backpack food every weekend due to hunger/need..and they project it will be 25,000 by 2015. This is EVERY WEEKEND these kids count on Harvesters to provide them with food. breaks. my. heart.
Sorting QT sandwiches. The bins were so deep that short people like me couldn't reach the bottom. Solution? Put the girls in the bins! The food gets put into boxes and distributed to people on the street. We had a great time making these boxes full of sandwiches, donuts, cookies, salads, etc. Proud of QT for donating the non-sellable items.
next came sorting miscellaneous beverages. Lawdy, I had no idea how complicated that could be! Again with the bin being so deep we put Kate in to hand out the products.
Somehow a ginormos can of manwich got put in a beverage bin.
Here is the family at work. Big thank you to my sister-by-another-mother Christy for scheduling the service time. Love getting my girls involved in these types of opportunities.
