No More Cans!
Tired, tired, tired. After team building and Bible study in the morning we headed to Rockford for service work.
The afternoon was spent helping at Northern Illinois Food Bank which is similar to our area food bank, Midwest Food Bank. Three hours of taking cans from large cardboard containers, inspecting them for serious damage, labeling them, and then packaging them in smaller boxes. I don’t think any of us want to see another can of corn or mixed veggies. They estimated we packed around 10,000 lbs of food to help those in need.
No foolin’ parents, the kids worked nearly non-stop for three hours with only an occassional break for the bathroom. We heard no complaining from anyone. A terrific day and awe-inspiring group.
We arrived back to LOMC for a dinner of turkey, stuffing, carrots and cake for dessert. Right now the kids are at the pool for a night swim and we can’t see how they have the energy.
Tonight is our final campfire and pizza party. This will be our last update until we arrive back at church around 3:30pm Friday.
