Good Day at the Food Bank

Just got home from my usual Friday morning at the food bank.
It was a fairly uneventful morning but it was good. We had four volunteers (the minimum required to “walk” people through while simultaneously keeping the shelves stocked) and we gave food to approximately 20 families (including one family of 12).
The best part was that aside for spaghetti noodles and spaghetti sauce, the shelves were full. The donations we received between Thanksgiving and Christmas are serving us well. Unfortunately, people generally don’t think about donating to food banks between January and November. While things look good now, it won’t be long (two or three weeks) before we’re again struggling to provide the basic basics, like canned beans and tuna.
So many days are really dreary but when the shelves are full, it’s a good day. And today was a good day.
