Helping out at a local Food Pantry

Jordan's part of a group called God's Girls. They're 9 - 12 year olds who are homeschooled and belong to the same homeschooling group. This past weekend, one of the Moms concluded a month-long canned food drive for a local food pantry. Since I don't have anyone's permission, I won't share names, or the other girls' photos, but Jordan was certainly just one of the many who participated. They unloaded the food, listened to all the food pantry does, how they work to service the community, then they stocked the shelves, and learned about how boxes are made up for families. We had a great time.

Jordan has her own food drive she's been running for a month at Mountain Valley Church to benefit the Phoenix Rescue Mission, but we'll be bringing that food down this week - last week just didn't work and I was really sick for a few days. I'll post those when it happens - also, we're considering volunteering at the Mesa food bank, through the United Way, just a few hours a week, but times that by the 5 of us, maybe we can help make a difference.
