The week before Thanksgiving, the department I work in volunteered to work with the organization, Feed My Starving Children. The organization feeds children in more than 60 countries around the world. We went to the Chanhassen location to spend a few hours of our time helping to making the packs of food and then packaging them. We all chose what position what we wanted to have whether it was scooping and pouring the ingredients into the bag, weighing the bag, sealing the bag, labeling the bag or packaging the finished product. My job was to take each bag and put it under a funnel which the food goes through into the bag. I then weighed each bag to make sure it was a certain weight. If over, I would take food out and if under would add food. All the while, we got to rock some pretty awesome hair nets. During the time we spent doing these tasks, we packaged 32 boxes of food. Each box contains 36 packages of food. With this amount of food, it will feed 19 children for a whole year. It was very rewarding to me to have participated in this.
