Lynnwood Food Bank

Tonight, 6 of us from The Rock Church stood outside the local Safeway Grocery Store for 90 minutes. Although it was sunny and warm in the sun, we were in the shade. My toes were sooo cold!

Thanks to Paulette, Maddy, Carmen, Dante (our secret weapon - he's so stinking cute - folks couldn't refuse him:) and Cadence, our work produced:

3 boxes cereal
4 boxes oatmeal
6 lb can of Hominy
30 Top Ramen noodles
2 bags pasta
8 boxes mac & cheese
9 cans veg
3 cans fruit
2 cans chili
2 bags lentils
2 jars grape jelly
3 jars peanut butter
15 cans soup
4 cans tuna
4 boxes baby cereal
4 packs kids juice
35 jars baby food

and .......

$120.48 in cold hard ca$h!!!

All that looks like this:































If you ever feel inspired to do this - it is so rewarding - and restores your faith in humanity.
