Food Drive;Shopping Day

Total of cans; Over 67,000
Money total; $20,220

THE FOOD DRIVE. What a huge deal at my school. The snow is totally clashing with our schedule for it. Today is supposed to be delivery day but school got cancelled due to the snow =/ I'm so disappointed right now.

BUT yesterday was shopping day and boy it was hectic! This has been my first year at participating in the event so I was pretty much already excited about it already. I felt like I had been all over the place though. Either getting boxes put together, setting up to serve food, helping with the baby food boxes. I would've rather been doing something than just stand there the whole time. I'm totally thankful for how many people had showed up to help though because if not than we would've been at school 'till midnight trying to get all the shopping for the family done. We even had lost an hour of set-up because of the fact that we had the 2-hour delay. We were all optimistic about it.

I really wish I had taken pictures of everything. Although the stress was excruciating and I'm still completely exhausted from last night, it really was all worth it.

I'm hoping that some of the teachers/parents were able to go in to school and deliver some of the boxes today. If not, I'm also hoping for a 2 hour delay so that way the students get a chance to deliver. But what really matters is those 100 families are able to get the food that we've collected :)

We're totally hitting the holiday spirit and I'm loving it so much right now <3
