I got to learn more today about SHARE's operations. Today, the more perishable items were delivered such as kiwi fruits, broccoli, carrots, and apples. Once the items were delivered, the items had to be moved to two different sections. The two sections are bulk and split. The bulk section is where cases or sacks of items will be distributed on Distribution Friday and Saturday. The split section is where items less than a case or sack will be distributed such a single bag of carrots or one 3-pound bag of potatoes. We also received frozen food items such as the special Super Bowl package SHARE is offering and salmon fillets. These items were moved into the large walk-in freezer. As the same time, volunteers continued to break down 50-pound bags of rice into 2-pound bags. It made for a busy day. In no time, two o'clock had arrived and it was time to head home. Tomorrow promises to be another busy day at SHARE. I look forward to learning more about how they operate.
