5:00a.m? Yes we CAN!!!

After a wonderful evening at Busch Stadium, Whittney and I crawled out of bed at 5:00a.m. to volunteer with the United Way FoodShare Food Drive -- what a rewarding experience! We were stationed on the Monsanto Creve Coeur campus along with other teams of interns and United Way representatives. Wearing our flourescent safety vests, we collected food for the St. Louis Area FoodBank to help local people who are hurting during this economic recession. The Monsanto employees who donated were really friendly and made our morning! We enjoyed visiting, a lot of laughs, some doughnuts and collected three large barrels full of food in the process. After volunteering, we decided to take our community service to the next level. We visited Schnucks after work and both bought a bag full of food to donate tomorrow morning. I encourage everyone who reads this post to volunteer in their community. If you are already involved with volunteer projects, I would love you know what you are up to!

Collecting food -- together we can!
