The next day we went to Kokomo, Indiana and helped out around the town by helping out at one of the many food shelves. I was heartbreaking hearing the small amount of stories we did. One story was about a child wanting toilet paper as a prize for being such a good kind instead of a brand new toy. To find out that people were going without toilet paper was really hard to hear because toilet paper can not be charged on an EBT card since it isn't food. But the best thing about this town was the people. They were so nice and caring. And the reason why so many people are struggling in the town? The town was economically hit really hard by the auto industry going down these past years. This town had not just one auto company, but two. So, we did as much as we could during the four hours we had to help them.
This is a photo of some of us girls separating food for people to take later.
But we had to move on.
We stopped quickly in Cleveland, Ohio and visited Lake Erie.
However, we needed to get to Fombell, Pensilvania to stay for the night!
