On June 29, the West End Youth Fellowship worked a volunteer shift at the Norfolk warehouse of The Southeastern FoodBank.  The warehouse supplies kitchens and food programs all over the area (including Suffolk). Their job that day was to turn a gigantic, chest-high box of frozen peas into individual-family-size bags so it could be distributed to needy families and food kitchens to use to make meals. The Youth Fellowship scooped several hundred two-pound bags of peas in the 67-degree room -- a very cool way to spend a hot June day.

The participants were: Cindy Robinson, who organized the outing, and Caroline Luzzatto as chaperones, West End members Michael Luzzatto and Madeline Robinson, and our friend and frequent youth-group visitor, AnnRea Fowler.  The group had so much fun they are trying to go back and volunteer again in July and August.
