I posted earlier about how the girls spent a night volunteering at a non-profit called Hope for the City. They packaged cereal into bags to be delivered to food shelters. They loved it so much that they wanted to do it again. I contacted Hope for the City to see if our family could volunteer during winter break. We set the date for December 23. Then I asked my friends on Facebook if anyone wanted to join us, and over 40 people did!
The girls and many of their friends spent all morning packing cereal and creating clever food donation bags. Everyone also had a chance to view the organization's interactive exhibit about different types of poverty here at home and in other countries. It was a terrific experience, and many people expressed the desire to do it again. We certainly will!
