Sandwich Ministry

This week Abigail and I were privileged to be a part of the Sandwich Ministry at our church. Each day our church (located in a city) gives out hundreds of sandwiches to the homeless that come to the sandwich window (a building attached to our church). 

Abigail recently joined the Sandwich Ministry because she completed the Confirmation program. Our church strongly encourages the now "adults of the church" to participate and give back. Scott and I feel that this high school age is the perfect time to them give to others. 

We gave Abigail all of the options to volunteer and she chose this. (Anna did too years ago.)

(Check out all of those loafs of bread up there! We used every single one of them!)

So this first time we headed to our parish together and were in charge of making: 

2 bins of ham & cheese

2 bins of turkey & cheese

2 bins of peanut butter & jelly 

for a grand total of 216 sandwiches! 

It took us around 2 non stop hours but we got it done! 

Here's one bin done... 5 more to go! 

 

Lovin our hair nets -- this was when tired was starting to set in, ha! (look at all those loafs still to gooooo) 

Overall it was an awesome morning with Abigail. I am so blessed to be a part of such a beautiful faith community that gives back. (one sandwich at a time)
