Team Scharff participated in a volunteer project orchestrated by our campus C.O.R.E. group.
All 108 of the individuals from our campus gathered for the briefing before we were separated into smaller groups. We found out that St. Mary's was the first Food Bank in the world, 1 in 5 children wake-up and go to sleep hungry, 1 in 7 adults (18-64) has to decide between eating or buying gas, and 1 in 12 seniors (64+) is struggling with bills/medical needs/food. It was great to know we could make a positive impact on our community - and have fun while doing it!
Getting directions from our leader on how to tape/prep boxes...
Cooper, Ashley, Kevin, Erin, and Logan on the assembly line taping up boxes.
Autumn, Erin, and Cooper - getting down and dirty with volunteer work!!
Brandon, Larry, and new Brandon re-grouping and waiting for our next assignment after we taped/prep'ed the boxes.
Erik and Paula, having fun in between assignments.
We put fliers in the boxes and started to fill them with food and drinks!
We got a break for a few minutes while our group leader figured out what she needed us to do.
Autumn doing her part - perfectly!
Let's get this thing started! and let's get Cooper away from the buttons!
Larry and new Brandon relaxing after pushing product and loading boxes!!
Group leader and Ken - we assembled 22 palates, which is 4,840 lbs of food. According to our group leader, an adult eats about a pound of food in a sitting, so that's a lot of people we were able to help!!!
A hard days work...let's leave knowing we are fabulous!!
After we worked hard, we stopped and got food. What a fun day!!
