Packaging and Playing with the youth.

To start the day,  we went to the Montgomery food bank to help sort and package non-perishable items that will be distributed to the community. We also went to the Montgomery Boys And Girls club to hang out with the kids and help the staff. We were able to lighten the load of the workers at the food bank by doing a few days worth of work in a few hours, due to the extra 12 volunteers. As far as the food packing went, we may not know the immediate effects that were made by serving here, but the food we packed may go to the kids and families that we were helping. Also, the kids in the boys and girls club were able to have fun in a safe environment and get lots of energy out playing kickball! In between volunteer sites, we stopped at the Civil Rights Memorial Center to learn more about the history of Montgomery and the Civil Rights movement. After that we stopped by the Capitol building to take prom pictures. We ended the day with a really fun game of Sardines throughout our host church.
