A Semi full of food writing goal day 3

About 2 months ago a large food bank called to offer a semi-load of food to be distributed to those in need in our neighborhood. A group of willing churches and agencies agreed to help. The congregational church signed on and key people from their church stepped forward.

Today was the day. The first volunteers showed up and met the truck load at the Armory; they were good hosts for us. The unloading went fast. Pallet followed pallet. Unlabeled (but indentified cans) were labeled and soon more volunteers than I could count showed up.

People started showing up more than an hour before we started to share the food we had to offer. More than 300 came through; most in the first hour.

In the end we had too many of a few things; but we were blessed to share what we had.
