The line twisted around the parking lot, but the mood was mellow despite the wait. (Not so on Friday, apparently, when people came close to blows over double parking.)
The volunteers worked liked demons, checking people in, bringing out bags, helping people to their cars, moving people along.
The little girl at the left is named "Cheyenne." She came in with her dad. After I took her picture, I gave her some M&M's, holding up the line while I went in the back room to find them. The kids are a definite lift, even though I hate to think of children not having enough food.
People bring in big grocery carts, which take up a lot of room, but what else can they do? Many are on foot. Some wanted to know if we had turkeys--no, because we have nowhere to store them. Instead the Pantry was giving out large frozen chickens, $4,000 worth, according to Tami, the director.
Some other very cute clients showed up:
