Today we did our first stint into the volunteer arena. We bagged apples for the Oregon Food Bank. It was great. Very well organized and the work wasn't too hard for our little ones- 8 and 9 year olds.
We bagged a total of 1,486 lbs. of apples. They estimate 1.3 lbs. a meal which equates to 1,143 meals for hungry families.
The boys had a great time. I highly recommend it.
Just call your local food bank and sign the kids up. They learned a lot about who has been needing the food and how important it is especially in today's economy.
