Welfare Square


Our ward has a welfare assignment every month or two and this was the first one we were able to volunteer for. Our assignment is at the dairy on Welfare Square (I didn't know there was a dairy there) and today we were packaging cheese. The cheese is processed, aged, and packed at this facility. Our job was to cut 40 lb. blocks into 1 lb. blocks, then package and box it. I estimated that we packaged about 2 tons of cheese in less than 4 hours and each of us was given a 1 lb. package in appreciation for our service. (It's really good stuff!)
