Title

Helping deliver food to a food bank

Description

On Saturday, Truro had drive-by distribution of communion wafers, collected graduation cards for graduating seniors, and collected food for area food banks. I was lazy, and wrote a check rather than providing food. The church collected FAR MORE food than anticipated, and filled the glass breezeway. So, they asked for help today to deliver the food to the area food banks. Because I had today off, I was able to help. It really weighed down my car! The place is on Prosperity Avenue between Lee Highway and Arlington Blvd. We delivered so much (4 car loads, plus a pickup) that we overwhelmed them, unfortunately, while they were trying to distribute to needy people. Another set of cars and a pickup took other loads to the Shirlington section of Arlington. Unfortunately, we might need to do food collection multiple times over the next several months.
