Affiliated Foods, McElroy, Blin and Volunteers

 January 28, 2013 

      Over 7,000 pounds of salvage grocery items arrived at the Food Pantry.  This donation was arranged by Gary McElroy. Randy Blin provided transportation from the warehouse in Norfolk, Nebraska to the Northeast Iowa Food Bank in Waterloo.  The Food Bank brought it on home to to us.  Shown here are Food Bank volunteers handing off to Independence area volunteers.

Didn't take long to for the piles of boxes to grow.

Twenty-six volunteers helped with this project.  Not all are represented her.  We catch only glimpses of the more elusive like Justin, and Doug managed to avoid the camera altogether. Our photographer, David Foix, worked as hard as anyone when he wasn't recording the event. And in respect for their privacy, no photos were published of Holly and the Success Center students or of the young men from Four Oaks.  Could not have done it without them.

To all of you present and those who wanted to but could not be there that day,

job well done and thank you.

To Gary McElroy and Randy Blin, thank you very much.
