After lunch we went to a few different grocery stores to ask shoppers for food donations for the food bank we will run on Wednesday. We collected donations for 3 hours and collected a LOT of food! People were so generous.
When we came back to Sacred Heart we went through a Food Bank simulation to help us better understand what the families will go through on Wednesday. We were broken into families and had to go through the food bank to select the food for our dinner.
We then, in our families, made our dinners with the food bank food and ate dinner in our families.
It was a very eye-opening experience to feel what the families experience when getting their food from a food bank.
We also participated in a reflection and activity to introduce us to world-wide poverty statistics.
Over all, a great day!
