Highland, IL

This past weekend I made a trip with 3 other staff members to Highland, IL.  Working with NiCE Foundation volunteers we were able to pack 106,920 meals.  They were an awesome group of volunteers to work with.  Included is a picture of the packing space we used and the team on the back of the truck.  We had fun, but we were definitely tired by the time we all got home.  We were able to get to know some of the volunteers pretty well as there were a lot that stayed and packed every session!  We had volunteers come from Michigan to help out with the event...that's dedication!  The only trouble we had was before the event even started....something happened that cause the truck driver to slam on the brakes causing our rice to tip and tow ropes were used in order to get the rice out of the truck.  It wasn't fun, but if that is the only thing that goes wrong on an event, we are in pretty good shape!  There is a picture of the tipped rice too.
