We’ve covered hunger and education 2 years ago

Working on another project about hunger. This time it is to feed 8 families Thanksgiving meals.
My 2 friends and I have teamed up with some other friends, co-workers etc. to do this
Tomorrow we’re putting the boxes together and Monday morning, I deliver them to the school where the families will pick them up.
Pretty exciting!

Think I may have met the next person to join our group. Just need to get more serious about how we’re going to do the projects in the future. 3 years ago

So far, I’ve done something on the primary education goal (giving out backpacks) and the hunger goal (working in a food pantry).
A few folks have been involved in the backpack project and I think my mom will be going with me to the food pantry to help out. At least she might try it out. 3 years ago

a food pantry/refugee center place not 5 miles from my house today. I’d heard of the place before but didn’t know where it was exactly. Went to lunch with some friends of my mom’s today and they knew. Awesome! Goal is to go there on Monday and see about helping out at least once day a week for a couple hours.

Then….also read the newsletter at the church I sometimes attend. They need help getting people registered and in the database this month. Sent a note to them to volunteer there on Tuesday for the rest of the month.

Then….talked to my mom’s friends about helping me get school supplies for the back pack group that my friend Dave does. They said they would gladly help! Let’s see if they follow through.

I’m wanting to ask my other 2 groups of friends. Just not sure how to go about doing that.

Feeling good about the direction of this goal though! 3 years ago
