Volunteer Project

OK, so this isn't like my normal blogs but it sounds good. So i am the president of my local Keystone club and we do a lot for volunteer work and when i first started you were helping poverty in our community. So i got to go to the local soup kitchen here in Town.i went there at 9:00 am and they immediately put me to work. First i helped them decide what we were going to cook for the day. we decided to make scrambled eggs, buns, and sliced apples. They then put me to work slicing the apples into fourths It took awhile but i got it done. After this i went down the the local grocery store with another volunteer to get some extra stuff that they don't use and give to the soup kitchen. we the proceeded to sort these and get rid of the stuff that was really bad and bagged them fruits and vegetables so that people who came into the Soup Kitchen could take them home to eat. We then finished the food and got ready for all the people to come in. We gave them each a tray of food and we also had extra sandwiches for them to take home with them for the other meals that the kitchen wasn't open for. I would say about 75-85 people came and got food that day. It was really humbling to see all these people in my community who couldn't afford their own food. It made me feel really lucky to have all that i have and it was really fantastic to realize this.

Well, that's all i had to say today, have a great day
