Hello from Huntington. Today started with a service at the church and a pizza lunch with the community. It was a great opportunity to meet some of the members of the church in the Huntington community. The people were extremely warm and welcoming and made us feel right at home.
In the afternoon, we split into teams to perform a scavenger hunt throughout the city. It allowed us to see the demographic of the town and more importantly the food availability and health options for the community. The area is a lot different than the community I grew up in. There are few grocery stores, and a large amount of fast food restaurants. A lot of the town was run down and there was a lot of poverty. I am looking forward to interacting with the community more throughout the week and seeing what other great people are here!
