Breaking Bread Records!

Students from Rockville High School joined us today for a morning of sorting bread followed by Hunger 101 in the afternoon (a role-playing exercise in which participants walk a mile in the shoes of hungry neighbors). This small group -- 16 students and 2 teachers -- managed to break a record, sorting over 12,000 pounds of bread in under 3 hours! Considering how light one loaf of bread is, that's a pretty impressive feat.

The Hunger 101 activity challenged each student to provide 3 healthy meals for their family on a daily allowance ranging from $1 - $6 per day. Needless to say there was plenty of hustle as students made their way through the grocery store, food pantry, and Department of Social Services, learning about the various challenges hungry people face.

What a great group -- thanks to all of you for making the trek, and for being a part of the solution!
