At the Food Bank

The food bank was busy today. Families came through on a steady basis the whole time I was there. The shelves were pretty well stocked though the produce — sweet potatoes, apples, eggplant and carrots — looked old.
A local church is having a food drive on Sunday (must be one of those “social justice” churches) so I followed one of the staff members to its parking lot where he left the truck, for the parishioners to fill up on Sunday, and then I brought him back to the bank. So nice of churches to do that. It helps us so, so much.
A cool thing I noticed today was that almost all the people who came though — even though they’re dealing with crushing issues in their lives — brought their own grocery bags. Neat to see that even with everything on their plate, they have the energy to care about the environment.
