I arrived and it was a beautiful day on campus…I rolled up and saw 25 Grind Out Hunger barrels all lined up and ready to go. First thought, these guys have set a big goal. I mean I have seen most high schools not even fill 25 barrels, let alone in ONE AFTERNOON!! Brian greeted me with a big smile, a warm handshake and innumerable thank yous. Bryan mentioned before we started that he had issued a challenge to the kids, that if they filled 25 barrels he would shave his head!!! We entered the gorgeous room that was PACKED with kids from 10 different schools in town for a friendly flag football game. Bryan, myself and a few of the leaders huddled in a quick prayer and then it was game on. As we sat excitedly in the front row, I was anxious to get up and speak about Grind Out Hunger. The time came and Bryan interviewed me about why I formed GOH and what it means to me.  When I left the grounds, something inside told me these people were serious about helping Grind Out Hunger. What a way to kick off the Holiday Food Drive!!! Take a look at the pics below as they speak for themselves.

Hopefully with this DVD more schools will participate and more kids will get involved. Tons of gratitude for Dusty Nelson for getting this all together and the fine people over at Second Harvest Food Bank for all of their hookups and support!

I did think we would have better success this year but it seems that the recession has taken its toll on our program as well (we barely missed last years totals). 2009 we are going to hit the ground running and get things switched back around. I will announce the official winners after the dinner on March 4th at the Elks Lodge. If you see your school on here and want to be a part of our program please email dk@grindouthunger.org for 2009!
