This was a wonderful opportunity for all of us to come together and do some selfless work for our community and beyond! From 3 year child to kids to teenagers to adults to elderly - you got us all involved! People from all walks of life were working with so much love and devotion to show their strong support for this very important cause. You guys so amazing in getting such a diverse group together. The sandwich making assembly line was a sight to be seen! My tears were ready to flow. These were truly packages of LOVE being made for all those who needed it the most.
I know that the count went beyond TWO THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED (2, 500) bags. I didn't hear the final count at the end. So, this was above and beyond accomplishment!!!
I could not even imagine how many 50 or 100 bags would be. Can you imagine 2500+ amount of patty mix, individual patties; slices of tomatoes, cucumbers and onions; breads pieces, fruit rollups, paper bags, sandwich bags, ingredient stickers, 'Sikhcess' stickers would be be??? And all those boxes to make packages or 10 bags and two - how many of those boxes would be??
The timing worked out better than expected. 1,000 bags were delivered to Salvation army by 10am in the morning! 1, 500 more bags were delivered around lunch time. All this was done on such a snowy day, icy roads, very slow moving freeways. Not only were the van full of boxes and boxes; there were also bags and bags of clothes!
How was all this done in such a limited time with limited volunteers and limited space in the vans?? With the very limited knowledge that I have, I can only this of one thing - LOVE . Amit, just like you put it in the blog - http://sikhcessdetroit.
with love,
