Relief Society "Souper Service" Activity

It's been a while since my committee has had to plan a Relief Society Activity.  We had a Garden Party planned in the summer, unfortunately the day of the activity it was 110 degrees so we cancelled the activity.

For this activity we decided to do a "Souper Service."  We used a fall theme, served Ham & Potato, Chicken Noodle, and Taco Soup along with homemade bread and cookies that looked like little apple pies.  Our activity for the evening was assembling bags for children who are patients at Valley Children's Hospital in Madera.  Our goal was to collect enough items (crayons, coloring books, puzzles, stuffed animals, puzzles, DVD's, games etc) to assemble 25 bags.  We surpassed our goal and assembled a total of 50 bags!  I also gave a talk on charity and service and we had a little game for them to play involving leaves and words from a couple of scriptures on service and charity.

Here are pictures from our activity.
