You can't be afraid to get a little messy!

After a week off (due to freezing rain), we're happy to be back! Mark and Eddie were so excited to be back, they showed up extra early and waited for the first cars to arrive. We got right to work, preparing the ingredients for our casserole, which included some pasta, more chicken than you've ever seen in your life (not kidding, see the picture below), enough broccoli to fill a miniature forest, some veggies, and a WHOLE LOTTA CHEEEEEESE.

Now, one thing I've learned throughout my time at Community Harvest is that you have to be willing to improvise. And most importantly, you can't freak out if things get a little messy. And this week, things got messy. When dealing with the vast amount of ingredients that we had for our casserole, Carly and I decided that a spoon would be insufficient for really blending the ingredients. Instead, we used our hands.

And the result? An IRRESISTIBLE casserole. It got rave reviews from the dinner guests. And thankfully we had volunteers from a youth group in Milton helping us keep plates and bellies full.

And I can't forget about Mark, who manned the drink station, making sure that no thirst went unquenched.

As always, a big thank-you to everyone who helped make this week another successful one at Community Harvest!
