Helping Ninjas Leo and Orcho volunteered at Merciful Help Center in Carmel, Indiana.
Today while volunteering, Leo & Orcho helped to stock and organize donated, non-perishable items, that community members have dropped off to donate like baby food Items such as baby diapers, hygiene, products, baby food, etc.
Each of the baby food items has to be individually labeled with expiration date. They also were able to have the opportunity to take a tour of the facility.
Each day at the Merciful Help Center items are donated by community members and businesses, such as strawberries from local grocers, these strawberries. The boys had to go through each package and pull out any that were molded or decomposing, and then repackage the good ones so families can take them home. Each week, families, low income families, come to Merciful Help Center and are able to grocery shop. So, the strawberries will go to someone’s home and help defeat a family and need.
While we were there, we saw a local community member come in and donate their cucumbers from the garden, which gave us the idea that we will donate vegetables from our garden as well.
Helping ninjas also rescued the strawberry waste, and brought them home to compost in Leo’s home compost bin. We also planted strawberry tops in Leo’s garden in which he will grow and then next year donate to mercy health center.
Leo says, “Volunteering is something simple you can do, and by doing small acts, you can help to change the world.”
