Food Pantry



We served in a food pantry today with a group of our friends. Jim and I took the children and organized boxes of donated food items. We labeled boxes and the kids helped us sort fruit, vegetables, beans, rice, noodles, cereal, canned meat... Jim and I had to check the expiration dates on all the cans before they could be shelved! The kids did such a fantastic job! They worked so hard. It was such a great experience for everyone!



Adam and Carri can both speak a little Spanish, so they helped at the front desk. They helped families sign up for a turkey for Thanksgiving!


Liz and Shelly helped bag up the groceries. Each family is given enough food for a week. We helped serve over 220 families today!

This is a wonderful thing to set an example to the boys about working in your community and caring about others. Great job, Jill. We're really proud of all you do.
