VBS: When we arrived at the camp we started with songs. Then we played sharks and minnows. We also made presents for the parents of the kids(thank you cards, snack bags, and warm fuzzies. Afterwards we talked about how Jesus walked on water. Then we did crafts, for example, painting fish, making and coloring boats, and making bracelets. Then we played water balloon volleyball. Lastly, we finished the crafts and we went to the food bank when it only had a few hours left.
Food Bank: We arrived at the food bank site in the morning and started setting it up. To do this we started moving tables over to the site and arranging them to create the shape of it. Next, we started unloading food, diapers, clothing, toys, boxes and bags from a rental truck. We had it loaded before we left Sacred Heart. After finishing with this, we started to sort food and move it to different areas of the food bank. Then the directors held a meeting, and we all figured out where in the food bank would work. Up until that point, I had been filling previously emptied Aquafina water bottles with vegetable oil from a water jug to give to the migrant workers. I was assigned to the cereal section of the food bank to serve there, and I would revert back to filling water bottles with oil if needed. So, after about 2 hours or so of setting up and 6 hours of serving the migrants at the food bank, we closed the food bank down. In the end, we served a total of 84 migrant families at the food bank; a great success.
