Service Camp - Day Two

















Day two for our Service Camp was spent at God's Food Pantry. They have a reputation for being a food source for anyone in need so that no one goes hungry. They distribute tens-of-thousands of pounds of donated food each month. Food items include fruits, vegetables, hot dogs, bread, canned goods, staples, and many more. The pantry is specifically designed to give food to the part of the local population that would normally go undernourished. Recipients include the homeless population and those who are just having
trouble making ends meet. They do not have to meet any specific criteria.
.
For our service today we sorted donations, stocked shelves and handed out food. While we were at the pantry the sheriff's department had inmates deliver an overstock of canned goods. Yes, complete with guards with loaded guns and men & women in orange jumpsuits.

I checked in individuals, my instructions on the check-in process included taking note of those with 'Sexual Offender' on their driver's licence. And yes, we did have several. Following our excitement, we finished the day off at Main Event with games and Laser Tag.
