Time Sheet #3

Community Service total hours: 3

On March 21st I was on my own making small, medium and large boxes of food. I learned to make use of empty boxes to fill them with the food that was appropriate for the box size. Souli showed me how they try to make use of everything that they are given. All the boxes that are used to distribute the food are the boxes where the food that is donated came in. I started but restocking the rice and pasta shelves so that I can empty the boxes to fill them with food. 

The small boxes contain: 

• one bag of rice
• one bag of bean
• one peanut butter jar
• one box of cereal 
• one box of pasta 
• two cans of beans, fruit, green peas, spaghetti sauce, sweet corn, soup, red salmon 
• two small milk cartons 
• and two small juice cartons. 

The medium boxes contain:

• two bags of rice
• two bags of beans
• one peanut butter jar
• one box of cereal 
• two pasta bags
• four cans of beans, fruit, green peas, spaghetti sauce, sweet corn, red salmon
• two medium size cans of soup 
• two small milk cartons
• and two small juice cartons.

The large boxes contains: 

• two bags of rice
• two bags of beans
• one peanut butter jar
• one box of cereal 
• two pasta bags
• four cans of beans, fruit, green peas, spaghetti sauce, sweet corn, red salmon
• two medium size cans of soup 
• four small milk cartons
• four small juice cartons
• plus a small box. 

All of the boxes are given with a juice, carton of eggs (12), fruit and meat (amount varies depending on the family size).

Below is a picture of some of the boxes that I put together that day. I made about twenty to thirty boxes. This day was a very hands on experience because I restocked the shelves, picked the box size and made it the size I felt was appropriate.
