I did something yesterday that really made me feel like I had some value in this life.
I busted my ass filling food bags at a local Food Pantry. I filled hundreds of plastic bags with vegetables and fruit and fruit squeezers.
My hands hurt, but I couldn't stop. The giveaway started at 9:00 AM and a spotter came back at 10:00 and told the Minister that runs the operation that the line down Route 1 was two miles long.
My sister in law, was working in the Meat area, weighed the bags of various meat to make sure that each one had at least five pounds of meat.
Everything is donated during the week and when I just couldn't keep going, everyone I worked with said thank you as I walked to the car. I was wiped out at 11:30 AM. I was embarrassed that I had only been able to last 3-1/2 hours. The line of cars coming in was still at least a half mile long as we left the area. 750 Vehicles had driven through when I was done.
I don't attend the church that sponsors this event very Saturday and Sunday, but I sure do respect it. I don't know how many people who drove through really don't need a free handout, but I do know that most of the people that came, need what they got to help feed themselves and a family that would not have had any extra.
When I wasn't doing produce, I was pushing a large container full of frozen turkeys out to the distribution line.
I honestly felt like Santa Claus.
I hope every one of you has a Merry Christmas.
