Volunteering

Published by mrshannigan at 4:24 am under Uncategorized Edit This

So my 15 year old is supposed to be volunteering in a medical-related position. She has decided to stick with the Girl Scouts this year, and will be planning her Gold Project (like the Boy Scout’s Eagle Award) in the medical area. I’m not sure exactly what her project will be, but she has a few ideas. My 12 year old was also quite generous. We have a bunch of excess food, I was getting oatmeal for 50 cents a box, and Tostitos queso dip for 25 cents a jar and Skippy peanut butter, 8 jars for $2. She looks up at all the food in the cupboard and says “This is ridiculous, mom. Can’t we donate this somewhere” So I had her get online and find a local food bank. She bagged up about 10 boxes of oatmeal, 5 or 6 jars of the tostitos and about 10 jars of peanut butter. It felt nice to deliver it, even though I just sat in the car. She enjoyed delivering it, too. I sure love these girls and I’m so proud of who they’re growing up to be.
