Random Act of Kindness: Day Twenty-nine 
Our Mission: Stop Hunger Now 
Our Location: Ebenezer Methodist Church 
Our Target: International aid all over the world 


Thanks to my great friend Liz who signed us up along with her family today to go to her church and help the Stop Hunger Now organization.  We put on our hairnets and became an assembly line that worked together packaging dehydrated, high protein, nutritious meals to be used in crisis situations, for school feeding programs, and for orphanages in developing countries around the world. We helped package food for 25,000 people in less than an hour...making the total packaged for the day by the church a whopping 50,000!! Each time we reached a thousand, someone would get to hit the "gong" aka cymbal and Cooper and Elliott both got to do it!! We poured rice, soy protein, dehydrated vegetables, and a vitamin C packet much like the video below. Each bag would feed up to six people. Then after we had 5 bags someone would run the bin over to be weighed and the bag sealed and then a 13 would be packaged in a box. What a wonderful experience for all of us today!! We had such a wonderful time listening to the praise and worship band that kept us motivated and inspired the entire time! We met so many wonderful families...and one that is coming to Cherry Point this year!! We can't wait to do this again and are so grateful that Liz signed us up to help!!!
