Food: it does a body good

I wasn't sure we were going to make it to this field trip today with 75 other homeschoolers. Nora urped down her shirt right before we left the house. But she said she felt fine so we chalked it up to a fluke and went to visit our local food bank.

I'm so glad we went! Not only did Nora buck up, we all learned a lot about the needs of our community. Homeschoolers are in a great position to be able to help, because their schedules are sometimes more flexible during the day. I was thrilled to find a volunteering outlet that was suitable for families with young children. The kids are hoping to make this a new Extreme Helping Hands project. I'm in communication with both the local bread outlet store and also the food bank. I hope so too.
