Our first cleaning party was a true demonstration on how a few concerned community members can really make a difference. Instead of sleeping in, friends and neighbors of The Village School Kitchen spent last Saturday morning using their elbow grease to get rid of our kitchen grease!
Swift work was made of cleaning more than 70% of our kitchen from top to bottom. Our nine volunteers got down and dirty in an effort to prepare a pleasant and healthy atmosphere for our Village School kids to return to. No task was too messy or out of reach for this crew.
The group participation made fast and fun work of a grimy challenge. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that we had a FUN time working together.
In addition to our lovely volunteers, we sure appreciate our Janitor who did a extraordinary job shining up our kitchen and cafeteria floor! It's nearly clean enough to eat off of!
Not only is the kitchen cleaner than it has been in years (no joke), we were blessed by a visit from a concerned neighbor and friend of The Village School. While we were scrubbing away, Xuong and his two boys stopped in to take a look at our kitchen and offer some seasoned advice. You see, Xuong has many years experience in the creation and remodeling of professional and institutional kitchens. He had some timely suggestions concerning which appliances should or should not be replaced
and some sage advice on other practical matters. Xuong didn't stop in solely to offer advice, he and his wife Ann have purchased and donated all of the flatware for our program! We are honored to have such fine friends and neighbors and truly humbled by their giving spirit.
Thank you Xuong, Ann and family! And thanks be to all of our blessed volunteers who freely offer their own time to support our mission to provide REAL food to our kids.
