What did you learn about the Cathedral Kitchen today?

• They have a lot of people who eat there.
• I learned that everything you do can make a difference for others.
• That they get 4,000-5,000 people a month!
• That working with friends makes the job fun.
• My first restaurant experience.  Work isn’t fun.
• I really appreciated working in the kitchen, because it not only helped people out but it brought us together as children of God and as singers (even though we weren’t singing).  However, I think I would appreciate more if we could see the fruits of our labor.  I will try to remember tonight, at dinner what we did for those people, no matter how big or small.
• I want to volunteer there.
• I learned how fun and easy serving the poor can be at the kitchen!
• In the Cathedral Kitchen we learned that they served over 150 people for dinner and we packed 40 lunches for people too.
• In the Kitchen I felt really good because we were all working hard to help those in need.
• That in the sack lunches they get Girl Scout cookies AND M&M’s.
• I learned that the Kitchen can do lots of different food.
• It was fun setting tables and filling sacks.  Those gloves were tight!
• In the Cathedral Kitchen they have to do a lot of work to feed the homeless.  They feed over 150 people every night.
• I think I got better at cooperating.
• I learned that the Cathedral Kitchen serves about 150 people a day and I thought that that was really amazing of them to do that.  I love Camp so far.
• I learned to be patient and helpful.
• I learned that when a lot of people gather to help feed the poor, you feel very satisfied.  The work that they do is simply amazing and wonderful.  I was glad to do whatever I could to help.
• I learned more ways to serve.
• I learned how to make a lunch!  Step 1: Applesauce.  Step 2:  Two crackers.  Step 3:  M&M’s.  Step 4:  4 cookie things.
• I learned how it works to prepare bags of food.
• I learned that when many people come together things get done very fast and I think that it’s so beautiful that so many people volunteer at the food kitchen every day because they want to help those in need!
• I really liked working at the Cathedral Kitchen, I was a part of quality control.
• I learned that everyone doing a little bit can accomplish big things.  Everyone helped set the tables, and make to-go bags, and when everyone helped out, the work wasn’t hard.
• I learned that the kitchen makes 150 dinners every day (that’s so much food!).
• What I learned was that it sounds boring but when you start it’s actually fun.
• It’s fun to set up there.
