Wow, that was quite the experience. Sixteen of us left from St. Matthew and went to a warehouse in Aurora. There they first showed a movie of the kids that are hungry, then explained what the food consists of. We all had to wear a hairnet, wash our hands and then enter the packaging room. After a brief explanation on what we were to do, we started out. There were 13 of us at two work stations. In a big funnel one person put in a scoop of "chicken", and a scoop of veggies, another person put in a cup of soy and a cup of rice. On our side we had 2 people putting the bag under the funnel and weighing the filled bag to a certain weight and then one person sealed the bags and passed it on to the boxer. Each bag feeds 6 and each box contains 36 bags. Our 2 stations managed to fill 20 boxes. At the end of about 1- 1/2hrs. we were given a tiny taste of the food that was cooked. Actually, it wasn't too bad, but I don't know if I could eat that every day since I don't even like leftovers. We all then went to the gift shop to buy tshirts and stuff.
