We gathered 13,400 pounds of food -- with more to come tomorrow -- the second largest amount for a single drive for the year!
We brought in $4300 in cash and checks -- the largest amount of any drive for the year!
To put that in context, the Food Bank serves an average of 200 households each, three days a week. The food we brought in in one afternoon, including the bulk food that can be bought with those donations, is almost enough to feed the community for an entire month!
The national organization made it easy for Dawn and I and others to put this together.
People who gave us food thanked us for being there.
Most of us had a lot of fun, and felt great about how we'd spent our time.
You volunteers were incredibly friendly, creative, flexible, and adaptable.
