Today we went to the Oregon Food Bank and worked to package carrots in a room that felt like a giant refrigerator! Working with my group was so fun! We were singing, scooping, packing, weighing, and taping – it required a lot of achdut! Afterward, we were treated to a yummy salad bar in a park and went ice skating at the Lloyd Center. After we skated, we hung out in the mall – some of us even rented “Happy Friend” electronic animals to ride on. Later in the afternoon, we visited Maayan Jewish Day School in Portland that recently moved into a new building and needed a lot of help setting up for the upcoming school year – GW TO THE RESCUE! We decorated bulletin boards, carried boxes, organized books, arranged their outdoor areas, and more. After that, Gavriela and Yishai made us a delicious barbecue! When we got back to camp we had chaburah and enjoyed delicious ices and treats! Another amazing day with the best program ever!!
