This past Saturday, we had a group from Holy Trinity in Georgetown come to our campus and help with the meal preparation. Since the group was comprised of eighth-graders, the weekend is the only time they can come in to help.
The easiest way to get the kids interested in the experience is to have them prepare the desserts! On Saturday, we made raspberry swirl cake and bread pudding with raisins. The raspberry swirl cake is easy to make and something we've done a lot. This was the first time we've made bread pudding, though. We get a ton of bread and use it only for sandwhiches. By making pudding we can make of a lot more of the bread.
After is was all said and done, the group seemed to really enjoy the experience. They're signed up for a delivery shift in December, so next time they'll be able to see where the food goes!
