SHARE Update

We had a fantastic turn-out today. At one point, we had ten tables of people bagging potatoes. I would guess that we bagged at least 3,000 pounds of potatoes and at least 1,000 pounds of rice. I'm sure SHARE appreciated all the people who showed up. Special kudos to Georgetown Preparatory School. It was awesome to see kids from that school show up and help out.


For those of you who missed out today, there will be bagging week all of next week, every day from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. I'm sure SHARE would appreciate any help they can get. Next Saturday, there will be Distribution Saturday which starts at 6 a.m. It promises to be busy though not as hectic as the holiday season. Sam, all around good guy, told me that they had orders for over 9,000 food packages. That is less than what they had during the holiday season when they received orders for over 16,000 food packages! Again, if you can help, I'm sure they'd appreciate it and you would be helping a good cause while getting to work with some fantastic people.
