We won, we won!!! This evening my family and I participated in our church's "Kids Against Hunger" food bagging event. We have had a Foltz family (and friends) team for the last four years, since we started this mission project at First Pres. The goal of the evening is to pack 25,000 meals for people in need in places like Haiti and, this year, Puerto Rico. We bag, seal and box a mixture of dried chicken protein, vegetables, protein powder and rice. When it's cooked in water each bag makes five nutritious meals. During the evening each team mans a table where we assemble the finished product in an assembly line process. It's very rewarding to feel like we are accomplishing a good thing. To add to the fun we compete to see which team accomplishes their quota first. For the last three years our team has come in second, but tonight we won!!
We worked hard and we worked fast and we finished first. Do I sound a little competitive? It's true, I love to play games and I love to win. Was it worth it tonight? Yes, indeed, and I will wear my prize (a tee shirt) with pride, especially next year when we compete again.
