For everyone who has Action Teams, I think you will find this inspiring! (This is shared with permission by all involved.)
Memorable Moment from Action Team: I asked the boys (both age 12) what they would do to help the community if they had some money. They said they would feed hungry people. I applied for the Action Team, but entrusted them to do the "heavy lifting." They talked about where they would shop and what they would get. My wife took the boys to two stores to purchase food and water. They compared prices and food items, decided what could be shelf stable in our local blessing boxes and what should be distributed through the Emergency Food Box. They purchased the food, organized it based on where it would go, and carried the food (in heat indexes above 100!). They purchased over 250 pounds of food and delivered it. One of the best parts-- both of the boys asked if they could do this again next year!
