1,000 Pounds of Onions

Surprise! Last Thursday we received a donation of about 20 50 lb bags of onions. They were all old and many of them had bad spots. So our job was to sort, then peel all the bad onions and cut out the bad spots and then wash them. We started late Thursday morning, but then our volunteer group left at lunch. Onions can be very overwhelming, so in the afternoon Sarah, Eric, Jasmine, Catherine, and Phillip and I got down to business. We got gloves, extra shirts, and face masks. Our whole entire building smelled of onions. It was intense! We worked really hard and most of us worked through pre-teen club. We gave away as many onions as we could to the pre-teen moms.
