My 1st Day of volunteering...

[Spurfect]

it was pretty neat. i volunteered for the Houston Food Bank, as volunteering directly at the Astrodome has not been set up yet. I just got back from it. We packaged hundreds of boxes of food, it was great to see all the food people donated, there was a TON! I took a few pics with my camera phone but not many cause we were so busy!

sorry about the quality..

all these little boxes on the bottom right corner, we fill each and every one of them up and they go out to families. There are instructions on how to do it, like we must put 1 cereal, 2 proteins, 8 vegetables, 4 fruits, etc...

We put all the food on this table and then pack 'em up. We had just cleared the table of most of the food, but not to worry, they brought in a whole lot more.

balancing act! this nice lady I met there took this. there was so much food to pack that sometimes we had to be creative. Here i have a pack of beans on my shoulder, and in my other hand I had well.. more beans! lol

after everything was packed we got to go deliver it to the Astrodome. Unfortunately we didn't get to work directly with the people of New Orleans. I only was able to peak inside, but let me tell you, it was overwhelming to see how many people were in there!! it was so sad too. I really didnt have a good chance to take any pics there. I wanted to be respectful. I'm waiting on the call so that I can go work at the Dome. Hopefully it'll come soon, I want to spend my whole weekend there. :tu

[Horry For 3!]

That is good about the food and such and it is also good that you helped :tu

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Beans, beans, the musical fruit...

Seriously, though...thanks for helping them out.

[Horry For 3!]

What will you be doing at the dome if you do work there?

[batman2883]

Yeah im very proud of you ma'am ps is that you in the last pic?

[Spurfect]

I was thinking about that song about the beans too... lol

well if I do go to the Dome.. I don't know what I'll do! It is whatever they assign you to do. I'm thinking it's mostly passing out food/supplies to the people.

it is nice to see how everyone is coming together :)

[Spurfect]

Thank you :) yes that's me. I also had another one with me and a lady I met there, but I think she forgot to save it :( that sux cause it was a good memory.

[SpursWoman]

Well i'm sure all the help they can get will be appreciated. That would be awesome if you will get to, will be a good experience.

[Spurfect]

thanks everyone. It was such a good experience, and even though it was exhuasting, i wanted to be there all day. unfortunately I had to come back to work >:/ I could only take half the day off only

[Marcus Bryant]

Damn. 12 replies and no one has offered to have sex with you yet. Must be a SpursTalk.com record.

[Ginofan]

Not to be repetitive but that's very awesome of you! Looks like you were kept plenty busy! Honestly, I'm anxious about going to help out, whenever that may be.

:rolleyes no need for sex in this kind of thread.

Just because she is a beautiful woman doesn't automatically mean men want sex.


BTW, is it a good idea to give beans to people in a dome. If they weren't pissed of now they will be when they go through the digestive system.

[Spurfect]

I forgot to mention, you'd be surprised as to what people donate. I mean do they not know the meaning of "non-perishable" food? I had some encounters with many rotten/moldy food.. one bag of pastries was so moldy that when I picked it up my fingers went through the bag and I felt all this mold.. ewww! haha.. some people.

I guess it is the thought that counts. Soon it will be like when people drop off stuff at Good Will leaving broke as couches, fridges and useless shit.

I've just been called and asked if I could work a 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. shift at the Astrodome. OMG those are scary hours but I think I'm gonna do it.. wish me luck!!! :wow

[timvp]

Good luck :tu

[MannyIsGod]

Right fucking ON. We need more people like you.

[tsb2000]

It's not much, and not that my vote counts for anything, but I think Kori and LJ should give you a Spur for that, and a title that says something to the effect of "real life hero.".

That's awesome! :)

that's very nice of you :).. but I'm not a hero. I'm doing what I can to help, I'm doing what I'm sure anyone else would do, and I'm doing what I would want people to do for me if I was in that situation. I'm just happy to help.

The rescuers.. now THEY are heroes :tu

It had to be said, I gave a whole page leverage and nobody said it.

[Guru of Nothing]

No matter how I define beautiful, there you are.

[Spurfect]

ok let's be mature here people.

the good news is that all volunteering for tonight has been filled. That means 1.) there are many people willing to help, which rocks...and 2.) I don't have to go out there tonight, lol. I was kinda scared of going out there alone this time of night. But I'll be there tomorro bright and early.

time for bed.. gotta get up at 5 a.m. tomorrow... :sleep

[A Serbian Beast]

She didn't even care. Does that hurt your pride?

[cmc$purs]

:tu :tu :tu you are a real :angel

[Guru of Nothing]

I live in Mississippi. I have no pride.

[Trainwreck2100]

I'd be hurt

[Guru of Nothing]

Apologies if I sounded like I was "hitting" on a girl half my age (not that there is anything wrong with that). I'm better than that.

'sup Shelly?

Isn't that a testament to this day and age, you call a girl beautiful and you have to be hitting on her. That's a damn shame
