What can we say? Today was more of the same, the MOVE '11 team cranked out some serious hard work. Today the team started off working down at Monroe Circle Community Center. Half the team helped out sorting out and doing some cleaning at the Center while the other half went over to work at the Garden with Alfreda. We did some serious weeding and planted some new vegetables and plants!
The team then joined up with dozens of volunteers from GCC to accomplish a Micro Food Drop! While the volunteers unloaded into the Karl King Towers Community Room the GSM team took a trailer full over to St. Joseph Apartments and started going door to door passing out food and personal care boxes. It was so cool to see this team take huge steps as they began to talk with and pray for all the residents. These students (and leaders) did amazing and had a great time doing it! We then joined up with the GCC volunteers and canvassed an entire neighborhood to pass out more boxes. All in all the team ended working really well!
Everyone's getting some good sleep tonight and then we're back to GCC for the 1130 service! It's been a phenomenal trip and it's sad to see it come to an end, but we're confident the steps taken and the way this team has been changed won't end just cause the trip is over, this team is going to keep on serving and keep on loving because Other People Matter.
