Today, Jason, the girls and I signed up to pack meals for the hungry through a program called Feed My Starving Children. Our church organized this event and we were excited to do a serving project the girls could fully participate in.
After watching a video on the procedure and where the meals actually went, we were excited to get started.
Our station was a great mix of dads and daughters (I was the only mom).
It was a lot of fun to see the girls work together and switch stations when they got bored.
Here is Ella putting in the chicken, next step was the veggies, then the soy, then rice.
After put in the baggies they had to be sealed.
Laney rocked the sealing station.

Yeah, I rocked that
Laney did a great job of helping clean up the mess we had made
What a wonderful activity for our girls and in our 80 minutes of packing, all of our teams packed meals that would feel 64 children a meal for an entire year.
One of Ella's questions: Don't they get bored of this meal?
This 2 hours of serving brought about a lot of great questions and hopefully helped to broaden their scope of life :)

Love the fashionable caps.... Projects like these are so worthwhile and can generate a lot of empathy, questions and a general attitude of helping others. Way to go, Willetts!
