Gleaner's Food Bank

On Saturday, myself along with a bunch of Westwinds kids and parents went DOWNTOWN (Detroit) to Gleaner's Food Bank. It was a great day! We ate lunch at Wendy's (and I decided that I really love the crispy chicken sandwich there, but not so much the fries) and then headed to the Food Bank. It's really a huge warehouse that stores and supplies other food pantries and charities in the area. The kids had a great time! We helped pack snack bags that would be given to local schools this week-assembly line style! I mostly helped the youngest kids in our group open up boxes to replenish the crates of snacks on the "line" for the packers. They did a great job! For the older kids I think it was very eye-opening for them to learn that there are plenty of kids who only get to eat at school. Hopefully, we'll go back next year!
