Today we went to LifeSource International in Fayetteville to volunteer. They help families of all ages. They have a summer camp in the summer for the kids. They have a food pantry for those in need. The first and third of every month, it is Senior Saturday. They had a young adult class from Trinity Church volunteering to cook in the kitchen today. So, they put us to work creating USDA bags for seniors.
We made a line and got to work! We filled two carts full of bags that LifeSource could hand out. We filled two containers full of bags. Once we used all of the bags they could find, lunch was ready to be served. After a blessing over the food, we served food to the seniors that came out for lunch. So many of them come there week after week. (I also learned never to ask a senior how they are doing unless your prepared to hear about gout and the heart attack that might happen!! LOL)
It was a good day. We ended today with a birthday party celebrating my niece, Abby. It seems unreal that she is already 7! :( We are looking forward to our February month of service. It will be with Faith In Action. I'll keep you posted!
