I am always looking for community service projects to do as a family, but it's hard to find one that are kid friendly. For our VBS this year, they raised money for The Children's Hunger Fund. Two Saturdays ago, we volunteered there with our church. They had several stations there-box food, sort toys, cut wrapping paper for Christmas, and package beans, which we did. The kids really enjoyed it and asked to go back again. They send food all over the USA and other countries. The food we packed that day was for Haiti.

This past Saturday, we volunteered with my bible study group at an organization called Thrive. They serve the homeless here in San Antonio. Molly and I helped refill the pancake batter and syrup. Tyler had a table that he took food and water or coffee to.
The kids prefer the Children's Hunger Fund, but still had a decent time at this one. I like that we were serving our community. It was outside and very hot. They had people giving haircuts, so next time we go, Molly wants to take nail polish to give manicures.

| One person came with a little puppy that Molly just loved. |
All in all they were two good opportunities for us to serve and teach the kids about helping others.
