food bank
After we went to the food bank I feel we made a difference.
while we were there we packed over 3,000 pounds of paper products.
You can visit the Atlanta Community Food Bank's webpage to find out more or to volunteer yourself at www.acfb.org.
Today we reflected on our visit to the bank by using photos from our visit. Some things people said were: that we made a difference, that we want to go back, and that we had fun.
Quotes from our vist:
About the feminine products some of us were packing, "You're gonna have to get them for your wife some day!"
About the job of taking boxes to be weighed.
"We don't have a lot to do."
"I know. That's the best part about this job!"
After we left the food bank we ended up sharing our left over lunch to homeless people in the park right outside of burnt down houses.

I think it is great that you guys are getting involved in something that really matters. It is so easy to get lost in our own problems and issues, and you guys are showing that helping others is a great way to help yourself. As a high school teacher, it makes me proud to see teenagers taking an interest in something other than themselves! :)
