Learning to serve through hard work

Humility is an admirable quality that most of us don’t seem to have. We definitely learned it today when we helped at Gleaner’s Food Pantry. All of our group’s patience was tested. We participated in activities such as packing and the production of food, stocking shelves, distributing food, and just tearing apart boxes all day. Emily W, Catie, Danielle, Nick, and of course Ricky helped stock the food pantry and helped customers pick up food. The customers that came through even got to the emotions of the best of us (NICK). Joanna, Claire, and Rebecca took a trip to the cooler and put together orders for customers and spilled noodles all over themselves (Joanna.) At production Emily H, Jacob (whose birthday was today, haha), Emily P, and Emily W (for a short while) sorted coffee for hours. (Yeah, it’s safe to say none of them will be enjoying coffee for a while.) Isaac had the lovely task of cutting up boxes all day. God love him, he literally cut boxes for 5 hours straight (minus a 15 minute lunch break.) All in all, we had a good experience and we can all agree…we need to get some sleep.
