Call me spongebob, stackin' chicken patties...in a bag.

For the second day of volunteering, Patricia and I went back to Tri-City Volunteers. This time, we were pretty anxious to see if they would actually give a job instead of making us seal envelopes like last time. We arrived there, had to sign in first, and a man (who was bald and had a mustache) gave us green vests and tags to indicate that we volunteered there. "Follow me," he said; he led us to a table and told us to wait there and after a few minutes, came back with about 3 boxes. He opened them up, and we were introduced to...cookies? or pancakes? NOPE, it was frozen chicken patties. "Ok, so I want you guys to put 6 in each bag, tie them up, and put them into those boxes", he said, pointing to an empty box next to us. So we got to work! About 5 minutes into the process, I realized that tying plastic bags with rubber gloves is not the business. So I took one glove out, but was instantly caught by the Po-Po (not really, just another volunteer) to put my glove back on. We were going at a steady pace, when my eye caught the label on the box. "Hey Patricia...does that say...TYSON?!", I said. We both said, "Whaaaat?" and thought it was a coincidence since we recently learned about how Tyson was one of the food companies that didn't properly take care of their chicken; and there we were, touching the frozen chicken...gross. We continued with our work, went through all of the boxes, and though we were done. But the guy came back and said, "NO YOU'RE NOT" and led us to a big freezer. In the freezer, we saw that there were more boxes of chicken patties and other frozen foods. We grabbed some more boxes and went back to our table to get as many done. I would say that we went through about 7-8 boxes of doing the same process, but I didn't mind because it was way better than sealing envelopes. That day was way better than the first because we actually got out there, helped out, and got the satisfaction that we gave back to the community.

VIDEO LOG COMING SOON!...maybe.
