ALSO Alabama- Food Bank


Salutations from our currently rainy campsite! Denita Washington came and talked to us about fair housing laws, and signs to look for regarding discriminatory practices. She explained how hard it is for some people to find suitable housing.  She brought us in the mood for a hard working week.  We ended the session with our first  devotional lead by Derek and Morgan.  Then on to journaling for the day.

Change of plans because of the weather we ended up going to the mall instead of the beach. Lets just say you could spot the group by the amount of girls carrying big bright yellow forever 21 bags! 



After shopping we headed to the Bay Area Food Bank where we helped Carla sort foods. This warehouse was the distribution center for other  food banks in the area.  We ended getting done more than they expected. We packed 3200lbs of food, which made up 2400 meals!  Way to go team! We had a lovely meal prepared for us when we got home! #tacomonday #shoutout #bevandralph.

We ended the day off with a good chill sesh, and some group bonding while playing soccer and other fun with the playground equipment.
