Today we woke up bright and early to go and volunteer at the Food Bank of Central and North Carolina at Durham. Although we were all very tired and drained by the previous day, our group as a whole was so excited to get the chance to serve again together. It's been amazing to see how much this group has bonded over the past two days and we were all sad to think that today would be our last day together here in Durham. At the food bank, some of us bagged a shipment of sweet potatoes. We all gathered around the big containers of sweet potatoes and talked, laughed, and shared stories with our group as well as other volunteers. After the food bank we went to a graveyard to help clear up the brush and fix up the property. We all enjoyed picking up trash, cutting vines, and moving shrubbery. Although it was a lot of work, we all had so much fun at our last service project together. As this week comes to an end, its incredible to think about all the memories, friends, and impact we've made in the city of Durham. Fall break 2015 is definitely a trip I will never forget.
