Sharing the load

In the past few months, the coordinating team of the Community Table Food Pantry has worked to improve the organization of our volunteers so that all who want to can offer their gifts in a meaningful way and so that none are taking on too much. Every Wednesday evening is now a work day so weekly loads of food from the food bank can be sorted and put away. This past week, 12 folks showed up to haul, sort, and organize food, and to knock down and recycle boxes that can't be reused. I love the energy that this collaborative work creates and the friendships that are growing as we share this joyful load.
