Volunteering at the U-District Food Bank

Filed under: General — mmrobins @ 5:28 am

Kim and I took the afternoon on Friday to spend some time helping out at the University District Food Bank. We sorted through food and and brought food up to the food line until some other volunteers left, then we moved up to hand out food in the line. Most of the other volunteers were teenagers. I forget the name of the guy who was supervising the operation, but he seemed like a really cool person and I admire his commitment to such a worthy cause. It always surprises me how many people are in need of something as basic as food. I’m guessing about 150 people came through just in the few hourse we were there. It makes me realize how fortunate I am and wish I could do more.
