1300 pounds of rice!

hello. Today we went to the Linn Benton food share and helped package rice.First we took 50 lbs. bags (of rice) and emptied them into about 1 lb. bags.then we tied the bags closed and put them in boxes.We packaged 1300 lbs. of rice.
the boxes that we put the rice in were all beer boxes, I thought that was pretty strange at first but then the lady explained that the boxes had to be a certain size and the beer boxes just happen to be that size.She also explained that the boxes were either donated(after they were done with their original use of course) or they were bought for any where in between one cent to five cents it was really fun and pretty cool experience and I would so do it again!
