This Monday we were thrilled to have 7 ladies from Merck Frost administration come in to help us with the food bank. When you first walk in to the food bank it looks very unimpressive. A bunch of tables lined with boxes, pressed into a drop-in center. Once the food arrives the action starts. These ladies were eager to get their hands dirty. I don't think we ever unloaded a van so fast. Many hands make light work and it certainly was true yesterday. We had the food distributed among the 70 boxes in no time at all. When the boxes are full and ready to go, it can be a beautiful sight, 70 boxes filled with food and ready for a family in need.
The team from Merck wanted to deliver some boxes as well, which made Pete and Matt happy. They had three cars, so each one took 2-4 boxes, and they made the deliveries. They expressed what a great experience this was for them to be involved in helping feed people they may see in their own community. Some of the ladies expressed a desire to come back. Lately, Mondays have been a great encouragement to me.
Peace,
