it was a great, yet bittersweet experience

[megzinlights]

today i helped out my memere and grandpa at their churches food bank. my aunts friend gave us free tickets to legally blonde and what she asked in return was just to help out the less fortunate people, instead of paying her back. so i am working at memeres food bank for all of december. and i would love to do it longer actually.  i wasn't that happy with having to do this when i found out, just because i was like ew it's probably gonna  be boring and everything. but now that i did the first day, it was great! and it made me feel so good. with all the people who came in to get food today plus the members of their family that aren't with them, me and the other people helped probably feed at least like 500 people. and all we did was put some food in a plastic bag, it's that easy to give back to society and help other people. it's just that simple, yet it changes, and daves these peoples live drastically and you could see the happiness and the gratefulness when we handed them the bags filled with all kinds of food. it was actually fun, as i was sitting there loading the bags, and i kept picturing the familys i was feeding and i would be like, yea i'll give them some cookies i bet they'll love these xD, or i would put a lot of different things that would go together to make one great meal, and stuff for breakfast too, i wanted to make sure to give them a whole variety. It made me feel happy to really help these people and see their smile faces. but at the same time, it was heartbreaking seeing how many people are struggling with hunger. i saw families of 8, familes of 1 lonely person with nobody to help them, families with young babies, asking if we had any baby food too. one women was so thankful and she said "thank you sooo much, this is so awsome, i have a my little boy and i really don't wanna see him go hungry i me he's my everything" i could see how grateful she was. and it felt good. so anyway. it really is true that helping your community is easier than you think, and it really does make you feel very very good inside.

love you everybody<3333
