This month our Mommy & Me missions took us to our local
Golden Harvest Food Bank in Aiken.
We were given a tour of the facility, learned how the facility takes in donations, organizes & stocks their shelves as well as how they
distribute to the very large community.
They distribute to many food pantries throughout the CSRA.
Jonas took this great picture of his friends in front of the food bank sign.
The kids learned about how the community is helped by the food that people give.
They also had the opportunity to check out the humungous walk in freezer at the food bank!
Jonas took everything in from the back of the crowd. We learned that when Jonas is older we can come back and help sort canned goods, stock shelves and pack shipments. Someday he may be one of the volunteers who stock the shelves using the large machinery! He really loved looking at the big machines they had in the warehouse. He really wanted to take it for a ride. He'll have to wait a few years for that!
We found out that the Food Bank does several food drives a year and does an awareness walk in the fall that we'd like to be a part of. There are many people in Aiken that are not aware of this place.
"Let your light shine before men in such a way
that they may see your good works, and
glorify your Father who is in heaven." Matthew 5:16
