I volunteer with an organization called Be About Bliss. A woman in my ward started it, and we provide winter food kids to children in need over winter break. It's a great organization, and I'm happy to be a part of it.
So, I dragged the kids to our local grocery store to help collect food. They are AWESOME at this!
I told them if they got 50 "noes" then I would buy them smoothies from Jamba Juice. They were VERY motivated! They were so cute, and at the end of two hours they earned 99 "noes." Of course, in the process, they also got a ton of "yes'". In fact, the head of Be About Bliss said they are the BEST at this and will gladly give them whatever they want to come back and do it again.
Audra even got a $100 bill from somebody! She thought he was joking, and then he gave it to her. It was pretty incredible.
My major role in this is to collect 9,000 granola bars! Yikes- that is A LOT of granola bars in case you didn't know!
We hope to make 1,500 food kids for kids in need. It is always really awesome how it all comes together.
