After moving into our new place in Long Beach, we decided that it was time to give back to the community we call home. So we did some extensive research and determined that the Long Beach Rescue Mission would be the perfect place to volunteer as a team. We call ourselves, G|J Gives. Here’s a look at our first team adventure!
Tables were set for lunchtime!
Rachel knows how to mix a salad just right.
Onion cutting and crushing garlic was quite a potent task. Filling a 5-gallon bucket with chopped onions can lead to a lot of tears!
Maria and Kevin weren’t afraid of that garlic.
Getting ready to serve! Lookin’ good guys!
Katie takes care in cutting the bread in even pieces.
Drying dishes is a fun task for Laura.
And for Kevin…
A small kitchen doesn’t stop G|J. 17 tortilla casseroles were created in a long assembly line – talk about team work!
Ken and Andrew spreading tomato sauce with care.
Chili dogs mean lunch is served!
The serving ladies, Laura, Rachel, Camy and Maria, put a smile on everyone’s face.
Hallie shreds cheese like a pro. And Jen is the best can-opener in town!
Meredith doesn’t care about getting dirty.
Meredith, Danny and Rachel were the salad team.
Show me your fingers – Let’s make sure you leave with them.
G|J Gives was honored to serve the city of Long Beach. We got to know each other as people and had fun working together in a different environment. We are so excited to serve again at the Long Beach Rescue Mission!
