Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma

What could be more enriching than having fun with friends while making a small difference in our world?

Yesterday, the Benedictine Sisters from St. Joseph Monastery joined with their oblates, friends, and friends of friends to work at the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma (CFBEO). Just yesterday alone more than 17 pallets (48 cases on a pallet) were packed for their special summer program.

This was not some group that was half-heartedly fulfilling a task. There was plenty of interaction between the volunteers and the staff, the older (85) and the young (cub scouts). There was the sound of laughter, cheering (when the task was completed), hugs and promises to return at a future date for more fun.

If you would like to be part of the fun, please check our website (http://stjosephmonastery.org), check the foodbank website (http://cfbeo.org) or contact Kate Pelizzoni (kpelizzoni@cfbeo.org).
