This was a good day! The USPS mail carriers picked up over 5000 lbs of food for the Hastings Food Pantry! With the help of Kiwanis members and other volunteers for Food Pantry, the food got loaded into Ken Stein's large trailer, and sorted according to the different types. I thought we had a "blast" helping! (This phrase was originated by Tom Genung from his assessment of the Prairie Loft Kiwanis One project.)
Kiwanians helping today included Ken Stein, Gaynor Watson, Doug Edwards, Dan Rutt, Ken Pitz, Karen Kempf, Tom Genung and myself. I did not help the entire time, so there may have been others helping when I was away. If I am leaving out some information, please send a blog about it.
Food Pantry is asking for more help for Tuesday, May 18, from Kiwanis volunteers to unload the trailer into the Food Pantry storage. We will meet at 5:30 pm. There are still some boxes of food that we did not get sorted today, but I am thinking if we had 6 Kiwanis volunteers to help, we should complete the job within an hour on that Tueday. At our next Thursday noon Kiwanis meeting we will again pass sign-up sheets.
