Our company volunteered at the Houston food bank a couple of years ago. It’s backbreaking work.

My hat’s off to you, sir.

It can be. I was just closing boxes as they came down the line. We moved 11,000 pounds of food tonight, enough for 9,000 meals.

Good work! I was in the sorting room where we c leaned and sorted canned and dry goods which were  delivered in giant bins. My job was pack mule. I unloaded the bins and delivered the food to the cleaning/sorting tables. At the end of the day, I was put on pallet duty since I was one of a couple of people who understood how to operate a pallet truck.

All the supplies we use are donated and usually already palletized. They bring it in with forklifts. This was one of the more pleasant jobs, putting things in a box as it moved down the line. The hard part is stacking and wrapping the pallets. That’s what kills my back.

Yup! Might have to take you up on that Friday. I’ve got the worst damn cabin fever imaginable. Is there a sign-up for volunteers?

As you might imagine, volunteer numbers are way down right now.
