Meals From The Heartland

Have I mentioned I love Iowa? I love Iowa. There are some of the coolest people here and everyone is super friendly and caring. They have a service project that we've been able to participate in for the second time called Meals From the Heartland where groups prepare food to be sent to those in need. My family and I scooped rice, veggies, and protein into bags, weighed them, and packaged them for shipping to places around Iowa and to Haiti. It's set up so anyone can help- as pictured below Chase is at a scooping station with 2 of his friends :) Even Hailey came along (and wore a stylish hair net). It is a great service project to be a part of and a great way to teach our kids to serve others and to be aware of people who don't even have their basic needs met.

It was set up in a huge hall downtown and there were so many people working, it was amazing to see. Hopefully we can do it again next year!
