My Good Deed for the Day

This morning, I spent about an hour and a half at my Church helping my mother and one other woman unload and shelve the weekly Food Bank delivery. I have to give a lot of credit to my mother, and people like her, who devote multiple hours a week to tasks such as this. From receiving the food, to unpacking and sorting, creating food delivery boxes and then delivering the food to needy homes, hours of volunteer time is required on a regular basis.

Unfortunately, some of these jobs take place during regular work hours, making it difficult for many to volunteer. As a result, it is often the same people doing the work each week, and often older, retired people who may have difficulty with lifting heavy boxes etc. Since I am on holidays this week, I was available to go help out when my mom asked me. We'll call it my good deed for the day.
