Thanksgiving, the time to be thankful. On thanksgiving we went to give back at the Flagstaff Family Food Bank. Hundreds of cars, trucks, etc. lined up to get their thanksgiving dinners. We handed out hundreds of dinners to the people who could not afford to buy their family dinners. At first I was not too stoked on working the food bank for 3 hours, considering we usually only work for 2 hours. Once I started helping out, the time was going by fast and I started to feel more and more grateful and thankful for the things I have and my financially stable family. You never realize the little things until you see another family struggling. I really did not expect to see that many families lined up like that. We handed out Turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, pie etc. I have a feeling the guys with me from residential feel as thankful as me seeing all those families in need. I thought to myself as every car picked up their food, what if these families did not get this opportunity to get this food, what would they have eaten? Imagine having no food for Thanksgiving, it is crazy to think about. A lot of people don’t realize how lucky they are to get a full plate on Thanksgiving. Doing this activity really made me realize how lucky i am and made me so thankful for my family.
