I have known my neighbor's grandchildren for their entire lives. They are wonderful people, and one of them, Maggie, just turned 20. For her birthday, we went to volunteer at
Food Lifeline, an incredibly innovative organization dedicated to ending hunger. Food Lifeline "rescues" unused food from restaurants, stores, and parties to help those in need of something to eat. Getting this system in place is a huge accomplishment because of rules and barriers that come with re-distributing food. They get apples in tons, and we helped to repackage them into manageable 40 lb boxes for distribution. The staff was warm and funny, and they play music so you can groove while you sort. They can always use more help so if you're looking for something fun to do with friends, I recommend checking this place out.
