Friday morning Well of Hope had a food drop in the Four Corner Area. Second Harvest brings a big truck and drops off the cases of food at 9 o'clock.
There were 35 volunteers to pack and distribute the food, direct traffic, and load cars. They really need about 50 volunteers, but were glad for those who came out to help. It has been a few months since I have worked at the food drop. The summer is way to hot for me to help. It was warm but not too hot today. Pastor Michael led us in a prayer before we started loading cars.
The lady in the visor is Geneva, she always comes to help. She usually helps with the cases of water, breads, sweets, and snack foods.
I worked on the bags of potatoes. This is about half of the pile of 50 pound bags of potatoes. They have to be ripped opened and divided up, giving each family about 10 pounds. It took from 9:00 to noon. I was ready to go home.
The blue boxes were mushrooms. So we packed boxes with potatoes, avocados, apples, celery, and cabbage. There were cars lined up when I arrived at 8:30 and they started loading cars at 10.
Meat, pasta, fruit cups, and I think a whole box of beans and rice were also given. About 175 cars went through and feed about 300 families. There is a great need in this area and I am sure all over.
