Thursday Work Day

What an amazing day Group Two had today!  Our group went to MetroCare, a non-profit agency, that provides food to Denver City residents in need.   We started off the day with a fabulous orientation that gave us an idea of what to expect for the day and an overview the agencies history.  Jake, Grant and Dave worked as stock persons and kept the shelves stocked throughout the day, which was a HUGE job.  Mackenzie, Sarah, and I filled orders for the different families, which ranged from one to 14 members.   I have never been so proud of our youth!  They worked tirelessly and happily all day long.  This outreach is amazing and providing such a fabulous need and service to the community.   Lookout, Food Pantry, you will have some new volunteers when we get home!

For Team 1 our final day of work was one of our best days. We walked to St. James Urban Church where we participated in two different homeless outreaches. The first outreach was called "bus stop" in which the homeless were fed breakfast and a gospel message was shared. We got to eat breakfast and mingle with the people who were there. Everyone was very friendly. After the "bus stop" ministry wrapped up we went down the street to the "Network Coffeehouse." The coffee house is a place for people to come hang out, get a cup of coffee, take a shower, play board games etc. We met some great people and we really enjoyed our time here.
