Trick or Treating

The interact club at school came up with the idea of a can drive for the holidays. The idea came up from one of the club members (Francesca) regarding trick-or-treating for cans. Although, it wasn't an interact club fundraiser. We just so happened to have thought about it in one of the meetings. The outcome was amazing. Between Aggie and Old Mill, we had more than 6 wagons filled with nonperishable food items. 

Sadly, some donaters didn't get the memo. With a giant can of Campbell's soup walking around with us, they still managed to think that we were asking for empty cans to redeem so that we could give money to local food pantries. Either way, it all went well.

We used the cans we collected to put in the senior box at the school's Halloween parade since it was a competition. Obviously, we won.

The can drive is still going on though. From now until the 12th.

I felt (and feel) so good about what we did because of how many people we are helping. Who ever said community service isn't self-satisfying?
