Week #1: We gathered socks, granola bars, hard candy and water and compiled 115 packets for our families to pass out to the homeless as we see them.
Week #2: Donations and a tour of Arapahoe House in Westminster. This particular treatment center is focused on pregnant moms and their unborn or recently born babies. We donated numerous diapers, blankets, outfits, wipes and bottles. They in turn gave us a tour of the facility and educated us on what they do for women and their babies under one.
Week #3: We met at the new Thornton City Park where we distributed popsicles to all the "players!" Two pictures so we could get all the kids that came to pass popsicles out! It was hot and awesome!
Week #4: We donated any unwanted books that were in good condition to two local libraries. We also created bookmarks to donate. When we were finished one of the older children read some books to the younger children while they ate a delicious treat.
Week #5: We went FISHing in Broomfield! Rather, we donated just over 118lbs of food and toiletry items to the FISH food bank. We also took a tour of their building and learned about the services they provide the community. Amazing how many people they serve each day.
Week #6: We sang children's songs to the residents of Broomfield Skilled Nursing and Rehab center.
It was another amazing summer of service.
I'm grateful for the people that joined me in our adventures each week as we try to teach the next generation to value serving others.
