ALSO Alabama - Feeding the Gulf Coast

Sup fam,

            We started this morning at about 8:30 waking up to some rocking Bob Marley in room 2. Ate some breakfast made some fantastic sandwiches and were soon on our way to day 1 of work. We began our work week at Feeding the Gulf Coast, formally known as the Bay Area Food Bank. They are a non-profit organization whose goal is to give food and other things to any person in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Florida who need it. The southern folk love to look after the little people AKA children, and the people at Feeding the Gulf Coast are no exception, they offer many programs for kids whether in school, on weekends, or on summer holidays. During our time there we broke into two groups one sorting foods with due dates (Karalee thought it was funny we called them due dates) the others in the garden.  Inside the warehouse sorting food was grand ole’ time cracking jokes and tossing tea boxes at Karalee while she frantically tried to catch all of them and organize them. The two of us were both inside sorting food, but from the garden was hot, they pulled weeds, set up fencing, and dug trenches. 









After our long tiresome we thought a good way to kick back and relax for a few would be to head on over to Orange Beach. The beach was superb. The squeaky sand when you kicked it, and the football were just some highlights of the afternoon. The main event was the ocean, all the waves and salt made for fun dunking people and a splashing good time. To finish off the day we got some Italian ice drove back to camp Christian and enjoyed a talk from Ransom Cafes one and only Matt Armbuster. All in all it was a great day and we can’t wait for tomorrow!

Gulf of Mexico!

Beach fun

Must jump for joy every year!





Just beach it my friends!
