American Heritage Girls - Service Project

Avalyn attended the American Heritage Girls National Day of Service. This year the girls helped Harvesters and Catholic Charities pack 300 bags of food for families in need. It was a great experience for Avalyn. She knew we were packing the bags for people who didn't have enough food to eat. The great thing was, the food was mostly fresh fruits and vegetables.  These are items that can be difficult to find at a pantry.  The food pantry's house a lot of canned and boxed food.  We also handed out toiletries and diapers. There were about 100 cars lined up waiting for us to get the bags packed. Some were there for 2 hours.
