Hot & Hungry in Hunterdon - Day 4

Here’s Tina’s report from the last day of the Youth of Zion’s Hot & Hungry in Hunterdon service project:

Day 4

Wednesday, July 27

Today, the last day of "Hot and Hungry" was a very successful one.  At Brady Life Camp, the green group finished painting a sound booth as well as the arts and crafts shed, exceeding the expectations of those who run the camp.  The blue group was at the Faith Kitchen, cooking a lunch of hot dogs for their guests.  They also worked at washing the walls both upstairs and downstairs and cleaning the kitchen.  The red and orange groups both were delivering the food we have collected (over one ton!) in two separate caravans.  We delivered to the Fisherman's Mark Food Pantry in Lambertville, the Open Cupboard Food Pantry in Clinton, the Flemington Area Food Pantry, the Frenchtown Food Pantry, the Hampton Food Pantry, and the North Hunterdon Community Food Pantry in Glen Gardener.  After our work, we headed to the Good News Home for Women to have lunch and listen to the moving testimonies of the women who live there.  We came back to the CEB for a final worship, listing all the things we were thankful for. 

So, to sum up our work. Thirty-seven youth gathered to serve at four locations.  As I said, we literally gathered over a ton of food.  Collectively, our group gave a total of 1,092 hours of service.

If I may, I believe that I will declare "Hot and Hungry" a success.
