My older troop made a field trip to the Montgomery County Food Bank. What did they learn? Madie said she learned that they had a really BIG freezer. Yikes. I hope she learned something else. She did. She went and checked some of the dates on my cans in the pantry and she told me that some were still ok, because there is a best buy date and expired date and they are different.
The good news is that she also learned that the food bank still needs food and that money donations serve the food bank better because they can get 7 lbs of food with $1 (I think Madie remembers correctly). Wow. Madie and the rest of the troop were overwhelmed by the numbers that the food bank serves. My moms were inspired. They are hoping to make the food bank our ongoing service project this year.
It was a really good experience. My girls learned bunches and so did the adults. That makes the trip even better.
