Yesterday, I went and donated a few hours to the Utah Food Bank. We put fish sticks in plastic bags. Let me just say this, if I never see a fish stick again it will be too soon. I love fish, but now that I know how fish sticks are sorted (Kinda like All processed foods) I realize it's not something I Ever want to eat. However, doing what we did was really cool, because these bags of fish sticks are going to help some needy family out there who could really use it.

If you are interested in donating a couple of hours to the food bank you should check out their website and sign up.

Here is some additional information that I found out:

Volunteers help out in our warehouse with a variety of projects including repackaging food, re-labeling food, packing senior food boxes, or sorting food drive. If you would like to come and volunteer in our warehouse by yourself or with one other person we always welcome the help. If there will be more than 2 people coming, please call to schedule your group in advance
Volunteers also help out with delivering senior food boxes. We require that you schedule at least two days in advance. If you will be delivering more than 10 boxes you must schedule at least one week in advance.
If you are interested in decorating senior food boxes and would like 50 or less, you may pick them up any time during our regular volunteer hours, listed below. If you would like more than 50 please call in advance so we can make sure we have enough.
If you need to schedule any groups larger than 2 people (school, church, family, business, etc) please call or email to schedule with Jennifer Layton JenniferL@utahfoodbank.org (801-887-1297) or Haley Greer HaleyG@utahfoodbank.org (801-887-1229) or Brandon Daniels BrandonD@utahfoodbank.org (801-887-1266).
