Talkin' Food Pantry

Just a few observations about the Food Pantry, where yours truly volunteers.

• We're seeing lots of new people every week. The new people are not used to coming to a food pantry.

• This week a man told me he hadn't been there in over a year, and couldn't believe how crowded it is now, compared to then.

• The declining economy means more people are coming to the pantry, while fewer people are donating to the pantry. There has been a noticeable decline in the amount of food we have to distribute.

• This week an old lady kissed my hand when I gave her her groceries.
