Hi Fred! Here's the picture! Thanks so much for all you did and do! Please give my best to everyone and tell them that they did a great job!!! Thanks again --- Chico Chavez (manager of warehouse bays 11 & 12)
Hey it's Shay. Today we worked at the foodlink warehouse. Instead of sorting through food we mostly went through nonfood items and separated them into different bins (personal hygeine, baby stuff, toys, misc) Some of the things people donated were really nice, like an ipod stereo. We were all really jealous of some of it. It was a lot of fun going through all of the random things people donated, and it felt great to be helping out.

Hey its AJ today I worked at the foodlink warehouse. Colton and I cut open the boxes and moved them to where people would go through them and repackaged them. It was fun.

---------------------------- Hi this is Fred B. We went to California Emergency Foodlink again today. We helped them reorganize and box food (mostly) and other supplies. The staff was very friendly, and the kids had a good time. By about noon everyone had pretty well had it though, and we only worked a little after that mostly cleanup. All the staff seemed really appreciative, and we got to know Mary and Chico pretty well. Mary was the volunteer coordinator, I don't know Chico's title, but he drove the fork lift, ran the warehouse and brought us absolutely everything we needed, including rubber gloves to protect our delicate volunteer hands. At the end they brought out an endless supply of candy on top of the already delivered almost endless supply of water bottles and also t-shirts. We inadvertantly helped ourselves to a couple of their boxcutters
which we will return soon.
Everyone had a good time, and we saw what a good program they have. One idea I really like is that that they use the jobs at the warehouse to retrain unemployed folk and they also help them with finding a new job, e.g. work with them on building a convincing resume. I will remember this visit for a long time, especially the kindness of the people.............
