The baskets got very heavy. My favorite part was at the end of the day when I got to see all of the baskets stacked up and I knew we were helping a lot of people. ~Faith, December 2007

I went to the Salvation Army. It was fun. I had to fill baskets. That is what we did. ~Keith I went to the Salvation Army with six classmates. To get there we rode a bus. I sat by Hunter in the tenth seat. It took about thirty minutes to get there. When we got there we were introduced to the people at the Salvation Army. Then we went down stairs to start packing baskets. We packed five hundred fifty baskets. ~Ryan When we got to the Salvation Army we filled baskets with food. I liked filling the baskets with food. We filled 550 in 2:17. At the end we ate pizza and a drink. ~ Ethan
I worked behind the table a long time. My favorite part was when I worked behind the tables. We had so much fun I wish I could go every year. ~Alyssan On Friday the 14th my friends and I went to the Salvation Army. There were people named Pat and Commander Joe. Commander Joe told us about the Salvation Army. We packed 550 baskets in two hours and fifty minutes. Commander Joe said that it was a record. When we were done we got pictures by a big tree. Then we left. ~Hunter E. My job was to push boxes. I had to crush boxes with Jarred. I at least smashed 187 boxes! After we got done we got a free power aid and pizza. We also got our picture taken. ~Brandin

Last week I went to the Salvation Army and got food ready for people that could not afford the food. We got to use laundry baskets. I liked the table that you can give anything you want to. ~Madison We went there to help poor people. We started with small basket and then did big baskets. We took nine people from Mrs. Bennett's class and seven from ours. We had sixteen people all together. Alyssan Clarke and I got to work behind the counter. It was hard work. After that we all got pizza. I had orange juice.

Hi, my name is Caleb,
Last week I was one of the few people to go to the Salvation Army. It was so much fun. There was a lady named Major Joe. She showed us how to pack up the baskets. We made 550 baskets. I had the best time in my entire life.
