    My tree gave lots of plums this year, I was beginning to get pretty nervous just thinking that all of them would go to waste. But I had the great idea to share and distribute the plums to the members of my church. I am happy that those plums did not go to waste!

    I volunteered at The Food Group where I helped repackaged 2 pallets of cucumbers to redistribute people in need. I learned that there is a machine that focuses on wrapping pallets. I also learned how to wrap a pallet by hand without a machine.

      Old Dutch Rip-L because it holds the refrigerated dips so well. Also Frito Scoops.
