Working Together at the Food Pantry in October:

Elementary Students, High School Students, & Adults

October 27th we went to the food pantry to help out. Foot Pantry was hard work. When the big truck came there was a lot of stuff to carry into the building. Food Pantry is a fun thing to do. We bagged apples. We took in 112 sacks of potatoes and we took in ice cream. Then before the truck came we helped flatten bags. When there was nothing to do we went in the back room to play. In the back room there was a rocking donkey, a spinner, a chalk board and a rocking chair. We had so much fun at the Food Pantry. ...Cady L. grade 4
Yesterday I went to the food Pantry. Jordan, Nisha, Claire and Cady went too. There wasn't much to do at first. We had to wait until the semi got there. (Turns out the semi was an hour late!) So heaving many things, such as one hundred and twelve potatoes. Later. PS The Food Pantry is at St Joseph's Church. ...Sam B. grade 4
