There are a lot of tables set up with stations that look like this:
Everyone picks a job: one scoop of seasoning, veggies, soy or rice. (In our case, we trade jobs...a lot!) When it is your turn (this took some reminding. We came up with fun names for each other and if someone wasn't paying attention we would call out their name. The kids loved that!) you dump it in the funnel and into the bag it goes. The bags make their way to a quality control and weighing station. Then they get sealed, put in boxes and shipped to Haiti.
When you leave you are dirty, stinky and full of joy!
The kids loved trying different jobs and helping out. We did it for 2 hours and I have no clue how many bags we filled. It was a great way to teach the kids that a lot of children don't get options of what they want to eat each day. They get soup...and that is it.

A girl in our house church went to Haiti in the spring and she got to deliver some of these bags. The kids also loved seeing the families that got bags of food we packed!
Today I am linking up with Works for Me Wednesday. Stop over to We Are That Family and see what others are doing!

Oh that definitely looks like a great way to serve together! We are always looking for ways we can do ministry as a family. Cute pics!
