One of the greatest things about our time in Lakeshore has been the meals! Our chef and his team of kitchen volunteers are doing a fantastic job, and are working selflessly for hours and hours every day. Sara Jo Wright, age 16, is one of the hard working volunteers. Here is her story about a recent trip to Wal-Mart — it’s not easy feeding an army!

“Do you mind if I come?” I asked Rachel when I had heard she was going to Wal-Mart to buy food for the camp.
“I don’t know why not,” Rachel replied. Good, I thought, I had been wanting to get out of the camp for a while. Besides, I need to get a few things. I only wish I knew what I was going to be in for!
As the five of us loaded in the van, we had no idea what was in store for us ahead. Think about it — Five girls, and one insane shopping list! Think of the possibilities!
40 pounds of hash browns. 120 pounds of beef. 50 dozen eggs. And many, many more items! Have you ever heard of beef base? I sure haven’t, but we got it anyway! Imagine this, a 105 pound girl (that’s me!) trying to push and pull two carts that are twice my weight… those carts wouldn’t even budge! At least the trip was exciting. The best part was when Deb bought us all milkshakes!
