Tuesday: Urban Outreach Clean-up and Food Bank

This morning it was so difficult to wake up, due to the long day we had the day before. But, even though we were technically exhausted, we trudged down the stairs and into the mess hall where we enjoyed a lovely pancake breakfast along with a series of the most eccentric conversations you can only find with our group’s sense of humor. Anyways, after breakfast we got heading upstairs to room 203 where we got cleaning three dirty stoves, three messy moldy fridges, and reorganized the sound room that called for our help. We finished with amazing results and the appliances just gleamed with a clean glow. The sound room was organized and after that, we were hungry! So we made our way back to the mess hall and into the kitchen where we had some sandwiches and fruit cups. Then once that fabulous lunch was devoured, we hopped into the huge 15 passenger van and headed to the Capital City Food Bank! There we met our very nice supervisor, David, and we started separating all the various foods into their individual crates where we then started packing the segregated foods into cardboard boxes that were then put onto pallets and labeled. We had the aid of two or three other groups, which put about fifty people working, counting ourselves. It was a great experience for each and every one of us! It was all finished in what seemed to be a blink of an eye and once there was no more to do we just headed back to the van and made our way back. We were tired, and dirty, so showers were being looked forward to once we had arrived back. Though, each person was calling dibs on who gets into the shower first. Making this day yet another one well spent! – Brittany Maloney
