Rescue Mission Service Project - March 2012

Image
This March, our group gathered together at the rescue mission kitchen to help with serving the food to over 320 people, washing the dishes, and preparing food for the next days meal.  It was amazing the amount of ranch dressing we went through!  Crying over the onions...  More tears... Serving the food. Cutting more fruit.  Food prep. Afterwards, we cleaned the eating area.  Group Shot. The man in the bottom left corner was one of the many great cooks on duty that day. He actually was home schooled himself so he fit right in with our group.

 From January to March of this year the Roanoke Honor Society distributed baby bottles throughout the Roanoke valley and surrounding areas. The bottles were then filled with change  and returned to the Honor Society to be donated to the Blue Ridge Women's Center helping mother's in crisis pregnancy situations. The grand total raised by the Honor Society amounted to $2,900.76!

 In February, we gathered several people from our group to go to the Southwest Harvest Food Bank. We worked from 1 P.M. to 4 P.M. wiping down salvaged food donated to the Food Bank. We were instructed by an outgoing, extrovert that really made our time there more enjoyable. Below are a few pictures from our time.

Each group of two members was given a child to buy a few gifts for, including a shirt, pants, coat, and a toy of some sort. These gifts were then given to Keith Gregory who brought them to the gift drop-off location. Below are a few pictures of the gifts we amassed
