Charles with our fresh delivery
Each Friday, Charles faithfully brings a truck full of goodies to our home to fill our freezer, frig and pantry. Second Harvest has a program where instead of throwing away food, grocery stores give it to Second Harvest and SH makes it available to us (agencies) . So weekly, the SH trucks stop at various food stores in Orange County to pick up breads, dairy products, meats, cereals and so much more, food items that are still in very eatable condition! Some things are near the sell-by date and some things have far away expiration date. It’s always different – but it’s always great. When it arrives, I email all my families and tell them ‘food is here’ and most of them are over in a few minutes. What we have left over, we take over to the Katella Park gang on Saturday afternoons. Yogurt, milk, premade sandwiches…
Always a gentleman, Charles always says “bless you guys” on his way back to his truck! Once again, thank you Second Harvest and thank you Charles!
