What's After Work?

 As I have said previously on Wednesday I volunteer at the Feast Food Pantry. I enjoy working there for 3 hours each week.  It is nice to be able to help people in need. Today we had about 50 families come by to pick up food. We try and work fast to load up their cars with food for their home. Today we ran out of produce after only an hour and meat after two hours. The last hour we had canned food, milk and eggs.  I feel badly for the clients that come later and miss out on getting all that we would like to give them. But the day brightened right before noon when we close. Three cars drove up and I was worried that we would have to disappoint them with only a partial load of food and supplies. But much to my surprise and delight they were bringing donations of food and other needed items. It was a great way to end my day. 

 On Wednesday i do my volunteer work at the Feast Food Pantry . I work outside there delivering food and other necessities to our customers cars. We serve a large number of families in need in our area. This week I was a little sad when I got there because the amount of food we had to offer was lower than I had seen. Not as many donations lately and the cost of food reduced the amount of food we were able to buy. There is a food drive coming up that I hope will replenish some of our stocks. A bright spot happened last week when about 45 minutes before closing a generous lady brought to us a donation of a trunk load of fresh vegetables which are always welcome.  If you are able there are many ways to help hunger risk people in our communities.  Money or gift card are always welcome at food banks.  Bring in non-perishable food to the food bank or food drive. Donate using the Feast Amazon link . We are grateful for any donation large or small.
