We are the chosen ones!

I am happy to report that Company B from Management 101 has chosen Community Harvest and the Community Garden for their service project this semester! Company B's mission is "to increase the availability of fresh, healthy, low-cost food to families of the local community by assisting with the gardening of fresh produce at the Lewisburg Community Garden and donating time and labor to Community Harvest’s hot meal program in Milton." They plan on selling tank tops and sunglass straps to fundraise. We are excited to start working with the Management 101 students!

This week's meal featured grilled cheese sandwiches, chicken noodle soup, crackers, mixed veggies, and applesauce. Making grilled cheese sandwiches is a multi-step process, that requires skilled volunteers like the ones pictured below.

First, the bread is prepped with butter and cheese.

 Then, the bread is handed over to Lynn, who used her "grill skillz" to cook the sandwiches to perfection.

Don't these sandwiches look delicious?? (And, there are no Cajun-style ones this time around!)

While all that was going on in the kitchen, Carly and I got to work on the desserts. We iced chocolate and vanilla cupcakes and placed them alongside some donated "heart" cookies. Who says we can't celebrate Valentine's Day all year-round?

We had wonderful volunteers come help with serving and cleaning up.

Thanks to the Bucknell Brigade for all their hard work!

 And thanks to Chi Phi Fraternity for sending another batch of helpful (and daring) volunteers...

...who aren't afraid to try new food combinations, like hot cocoa mix and applesauce.

We had another great week at Community Harvest. Thanks again to all the volunteers, and a special thanks to Company B for making us the chosen ones! :)
