Hello Friends of the Purple Room!We thought it was time to follow up with you all on our food drive. We've been quite busy in recent weeks, but our field trip to the Second Harvest Food Bank was definitely a highlight.
Friends worked together to move a van load of food items into the donation bin, where it will be distributed to those in need.
We took a little tour of the facility and heard about what they do there. We were very curious about who donates food and what they donate. We saw crates of fresh fruit and talked about the sponsors who donate milk, eggs, bread, and other essentials.
We even got an inside look at the distribution center!
Friends got the opportunity to ask questions about who needs food, how the food gets to them, and who gets it there. We learned that Second Harvest serves thousands and thousands of needy individuals and families, and we talked about how we could keep helping long into the future.
We got a first-hand look at the good work they are doing there and left with a sense of understanding for how important Second Harvest is to the community.
