A Good Deed Never Goes Unrewarded





At the end of February we took advantage of a super opportunity with Disney. To promote service and charitable works in the community they were offering individual Disneyland passes if you did a service project of some sort. We looked hard to make one work for the whole family. We ended up one Saturday morning working at the Utah Co-op, which is an organization that helps low income people who need help getting groceries and food items. The Co-op collects things and then people can come to their store on Redwood Road to "shop" for what they need. We worked cleaning up and organizing the storage area because people were also bringing in diapers and wipes that day for a shipment they were putting together for Haiti. I think we helped out a lot--we reorganized several pallets, consolidating them and getting more space open. And we set up a good organized way to store the diapers as they came in all morning. Everyone in the family worked hard, showed a good attitude, and did what they could to help out--we were proud of them all.
