banco alimento

Friday morning in Spanish class we got to go on a field trip. We were told that we were going to a banco alimento, we didnt know why at alimento was, and we didnt ask we just assumed we were going to a bank of some sort. friday morning we put two and two together and realized that what we were going to was a food bank.

we took a public bus for about an hour. got off the bus, were pretty lost...but eventually we found it. we talked to one of the supervisors and learned a little bit about the bank. they get food from supermarkets and other company grants, no government assistance. the bank packages the food and ships it to various soup kitchens throughout the province.

we sorted the food and looked for packages that were broken or past the expiration date. it was fun to go out into the community, and have a little change of scenery
