Food Bank of the Rockies-Day 2

Day 2 at the Food Bank of the Rockies was a huge success. We had several students participate in today's activities at the food bank.

One of the most amusing projects had to be the "smashing of the bread". Team Leader Komal Suchak, and student volunteers Lashey Randon and Anisa Bartels, helped pack and smash non-usable bread products for consumption by cattle. No fancy equipment needed..they simply tossed the bread into a giant box and started stomping, jumping on, and crushing the bread with their feet. Even cows need food, right?

Our other student volunteers, including Sara Bisel, Michelle Meyer, Susan Hunley, Kimberly Gunning, Alyssa Cabrera, Sarah McClendon, and Jennifer Lonnes, helped sort and pack individual bags of food, and essentials, for distribution to senior housing developments in residential, downtown Denver. They were quite efficient with the assembly line, once they got going, and the workers at Food Bank of the Rockies were so grateful for their help.

I have to admit that I am extremely proud to see our student volunteers out working in the community. Their dedication to helping others is really what this whole week is about, and this group of extraordinary volunteers is making a difference out there in the world. We should all be inspired to take a page from their book, reach out beyond ourselves, and serve others for the greater good.

A small piece of your time can mean a great deal more to families in need.

Go Team!!!
