SHARE

I got to help out at SHARE today. Today, they had LOTS of boxes of sweet potatoes that they needed broken down into 2 and 1/2 pound bags. Once we had 12 bags of sweet potatoes, we'd put them back in the box we dumped out and stack them on a pallet. SHARE is busy getting things ready for distribution Saturday. It's incredible how fast those bags of sweet potatoes will go come Saturday.
There were a surprising number of volunteers today at SHARE. At one point, they had people working at seven tables bagging sweet potatoes. It was really nice seeing so many people coming out to help out. The people who run SHARE were busy as always. I got to chat with Sam, SHARE's webmaster par excellence. Sam is a wonderful person who is constantly busy organizing volunteers, showing them what needs to be done, moving loads of food, getting food shipments ready, and taking care of their webpages. If you ever get over to SHARE, you should look him up and say hi. He really is a nice person.
