My son Mike and I started Saturday morning by packing food to help feed the hungry in San Diego, Haiti, and Japan. I've been wanting to help out for awhile, and finally signed us up to help. Over 2,400 people were expected to show up over the weekend, to package 500,000 meals! The packaging included a vitamin packet, soy protein, dehydrated vegetables and rice being put into a bag, then sealed and packaged. Mike handled double duty, placing the vitamin packs in the bags and helping place the items in the bag. My task was the dehydrated veggies (seen in the lower right hand corner of the picture). The organizers made it a fun event, with music playing and everyone in a good mood, very encouraging and excited about the task at hand. The packages we put together can feed a family of 6. The whole event makes you think about how EXTREMELY lucky we are!!
