Tri-City Volunteering 2nd Time

Driving there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cR-d7gFkBwg Bagging Onions http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtUQJiJxxLY Breaking it down Sweeping!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejDlkl6lMCk This time Genesis and I wen't to the volunteer center. It was a different experience because we were doing different things than from the first visit. This time we bagged alot of onions and filled up almost 2 bins of onions. Then we moved onto the bread. We had to package some bread, it might have been stale or it might not have. There were all different kinds of bread like sourdough, sesame seed bread, and this other kind that Genesis and I called giraffe bread because it looked like a giraffes fur. We packaged a lot of bread including large loafs and individual rolls. Once that was done we didn't really have anything to do because everyone was just sitting around. So Genesis and I decided to take a break. After a slight STEP session Genesis and I were put on sweeping duty because we had the most energy. We continued to break it down while sweeping. Which then got us moved to bagging cans. It was 6 cans per bag plus one dessert, the dessert consisted of green beans.... which I didn't really think was a dessert, and dried pitted plums. We began bagging and we bagged stuff like applesauce, and mixed vegetables. But then we got to reach into some bins and we found donated cans, which just shows that from canned food drives and other events this is where the cans are brought. I am looking forward to the next volunteer session because the last session was fun and it was also nice knowing that you're helping out people who need help. I am really considering doing this for most of my volunteer hours that are rquired by the school, maybe over the summer or something.
