Monday in NYC Katherine and Jenna

Salutations!
It's Katherine and Jenna here! Today we went to Youth Service Opportunities Project (YSOP) headquarters and met another group from Maryland who were serving too. Our group consisting of Nick, Shannon, Jenna, Dr. Jay, and myself went to a church in Brooklyn who was preparing to serve hungry people for Tuesday. First,we met Josephine at the door and she gave us a tour of the church. Next, some people of our group began to unfold boxes for recycling and others prepared plastic bags to hold food packages. A little while later, we packed non perishable food including milk and juice (up to 200 bags!). Our final task was to prepare bags of four potatoes and a few handfuls of onions together.  After packing over 200 bags of those, some of us brought them to the front to be served for tomorrow. We then returned to YSOP for a debriefing session to tell the other groups what we did today. We concluded the day by going to the 9/11 museum and memorial. The museum had many artifacts from the twin towers which was very moving and heartfelt. The pools, where the twin towers once stood, was incredible. Finally, we had dinner at Bill's bar and grill where we had an amazing dinner and milkshakes! Can't wait for another day of service! See y'all soon!
