St. Peter- Ben

        This past week working for Catholic Charities was far better than I expected. Even though the first few days felt slow, even though we got a lot of work done, it picked up and got so much better. These past couple days have easily been the most fulfilling, on Wednesday we assembled 610 Christmas bags and it took all day. It brings me a sense a joy to know that each one of those bags is going to help someone in need and very possibly make their Christmas. Thursday, we moved location and worked at the Ladies of Charity and made backpacks for kids of all grades filled with folders, notebooks, pencils, etc. The ladies who worked there were so welcoming and really made the whole experience better with their hospitality. Finally, today we were back at the Outreach center in Lackawanna and it was food truck Friday! No, not the food truck where you buy stuff, but a semi-truck with pallets of food on it. When we arrived there was already a line for food even though they couldn't get food until ten o'clock. Talking to all the people who I got to give Kaleidos cookies to was amazing today. Overall this past week has been a memorable one and I'll never forget it.
