Yesterday students from Saint Francis Xavier School in Acushnet as well as young family members of some of our regular volunteers were back at the pantry helping out.
They were busy, busy, busy ... setting up tables; building grocery bags of non-perishables; bringing in produce from the refrigerator truck; preparing lunches; sorting and setting out clothing; wheeling in handtrucks loaded with cases of apple juice, milk, eggs, cheese, sausage patties, diapers and more for distribution; keeping the pantry entrance lines moving smoothly; folding cardboard for recycling; stacking and wrapping empty banana boxes; sweeping; cleaning; tossing out bags of trash; pitching in to help with any and all of the routine pantry tasks where their help was needed ... and in addition several of the students had a special task of distributing ice cream to people waiting in line before the pantry opened.
We were happy to have the student helpers here ... and so were the many folks who received ice cream. Thank you again.
