Getting close to the end of the sorting. The boxes
in the background contained salvage food
that was sorted into various categories. Then
the empty boxes were stacked. I think we went
through 8 pallets of boxes. |
Today I went to the Capital Area Foodbank with some of my friends to do service. There was another group there, so we quickly got through the food. We sorted something like 40,000 lbs of food. It was quite fun. Half are time was spent learning how to sort the food. They had some interesting distinctions. For example, most canned beans went into canned vegetables, but baked beans and refried beans went into the canned meat bin. Most fruit went into the canned fruit bin, but single servings went into snacks. I understand that they want to be consistent for packing purposes, but I guess that's why it takes an hour to teach people how to sort the food!
I miss doing service. I would like to find more opportunities to do service.
