Taliana Katz-1/23/10-1st visit @ Village Temple

We went to visit the village temple soup kitchen at 9 am on saturday.  At this soup kitchen every saturday they work on feeding people that are hungry in New York.

At first when we went we waited in the lobby for a few minutes and then someone came down to bring us upstairs.

When I looked around I noticed a table in the back covered with bread.  other then that the room was quite empty.

we were the first people there other then the people who were in charge of the soup kitchen.

At first we opened up all the packets of bread and piled it on trays while doing this a few other groups came.

After that more and more groups started coming which in a way was good because of all the help but it got overcrowded.

After we piled the bread me and Ruby (g) opened up the tuna cans and put them in a big bowl so it could be prepared with  mayo and chopped up celery that we prepared before.

After the Tuna fish and the bread were both finished being prepared most of us started to make the sandwiches while others cut corn bread.

When all the  sandwiches were made people started to bag them while others prepared the desert and fruit.

After that they thanked us and said that we could leave.

I really enjoyed this experience because we had the chance to help people and it was fun at the same time.

I think that next time we could stay a little longer so that we can see the food being handed out.

Also it would have been a better experience if there were less people but we cant really change that.

I cant wait till next saturday where we can help again.
