Alison was interested in volunteering at the food bank so our group signed up for a few shifts in the Volunteer Action Center last month. On the first day, Jack, Sean, Emily, and Alison helped measure and bag bulk beans. The second day, Sean, Robin, and Brett bagged onions and on our third visit, Alison, Jack, Lamont, and Aaron bagged oranges. It was fun being in the big space with all of the other volunteers- there was a lot of energy in the room. Every now and then a bell would ring to announce how many pounds of food we'd bagged and everyone would cheer and clap. When we reached the bottom of the bin it truly felt as if everyone had accomplished something together as a team. Thanks for the suggestion Alison, we'll be back!
