Spaghetti Dinner

On May 1st Aleah and I made a spaghetti dinner to serve to the homeless. We made  jello the night before so that we were sure it would be finished in time. We started to prepare the rest of this meal by gathering our ingredients that we purchased with the go fund me account. Next we started to create the sauce needed for this meal, when we were halfway done with the sauce we started to boil the noodles and toasted the garlic bread. When we arrived at KEO we instantly started to make the 33 plates needed to feed all of them. While we were serving the plates you could see all of their faces instantly light up. I loved that feeling of seeing what we have done make such a positive impact on all of the people there.We also had enough leftovers to leave in their frigde to enjoy for 1 more night. When we were finished with serving them we gathered our things and said thank you to the peple who let us serve them and on our way out everyone in there said thanks to all of us with big smiles on their faces.

Food Shopping!

Today Aleah and I went shopping for ingredients needed to prepare for the making of this meal. We had so much fun at the store buying the ingredients. Doing this project so far has been a blast and to finally see it happen in only a few short days(Sunday May 1st). I am very excited to see what the outcome of this project will be. I hope to inspire others to actually show that there are people out in the world who really care about them.

Thank you to all of the people who donated to our campaign! We will keep you all updated so keep checking our blog.

First Delivery (2/23/16)

Today was an exciting day! Aleah and I have made our first donation of clothes to the KEO center on Monday (February 15). We have donated about 6 full bags of clothes, a pair of shoes, and some bags.

We signed our very first Donation Acknowledgment form from KEO making us legitimate donators to our own campaign.

Also, we have currently raised $160 in our GoFundMe account bringing us closer to our goal!

I am very fortunate to be able to experience this wonderful feeling of finally making a difference after witnessing many homeless people helpless on the streets.

Sunday Fun Day (2/20/16)

Aleah and I spent part of our Sunday organizing/sorting through our first donation of clothes. All together we spent about two hours organizing and getting things together nice and neatly. We had to sort through all the bags to see what would benefit the homeless, and use the rest for a garage sale to earn funds for our first dinner for the homeless. Once we finally sorted through everything we had to put everything back in bags, and labeled them so it would be ready for delivery.
