Feed My Starving Children Community Service

For my 5th through 8th hours of community service I went and volunteered at Feed My Starving Children in Libertyville. Since each session is only and hour and a half, I went twice.
When you get there you have to sign in on the computer for the party name and sift you signed up for. Then you go and sit down and wait for the presentation to begin. The people who work at the organization put together a video informing the volunteers what their company is all about and what their food and our help can do to impact these hungry children around the world. Once the video is over you have to go and wash your hands so none of your germs get on the food you are packaging since the people in these countries may not have the immunities we do to certain things. Then we stand around and the lady who is in charge, Kathy, talks about what we will be doing. She explains the different things that go into each bag, how much of what to put in each bag and how many bags go into each box. Then we split up into tables and get to work.
I traded off my position a lot and went from pouring the vegetable pieces to sealing bags mainly. After an hour and a half of working we had to clean up. The person doing each job in the creation of the food bags is assigned a clean up job. I had to wash the dishes so I took the dirty supplies over to the dish washers, waited for it to go through their cycle then I had to dry them and bring them back.
Once everyone was done cleaning up all of the volunteers had the option to go into the storage room and pray. After that, we all went back out to the main area where we watched another video as they tallied up how much we had boxed that night. I was amazed when I heard the numbers! We had boxed 97 boxes which they said would feed 57 kids for an entire year.
