Chapter Seven

Owen pulled the SUV up into the parking lot by the food bank that Alicia’s company had partnered with for the Thanksgiving food drive. Ryan, Owen, and Helen walked to the back of the food bank where they found Alicia and Jasmine.

“Hey, Jasmine,” said Helen, pulling her friend in for a hug. “You were totally right, about everything.”

Helen walked up to Alicia next. “Alicia, we got my stuff back, so we swung by to see if we could volunteer today,” explained Helen. “After all, I’ve gotta help others, given that you two helped me out so much. Do you need three sets of hands?”

“Definitely,” said Alicia. “One set of our volunteers, a family of a mom, a dad, and their teenage son, called in sick. They were doing delivery duty in a rough neighborhood. We’ve got enough people bagging stuff up here, but what we need to do is get these bags to people. Basically, we are delivering the food early so people can budget and figure out what perishables they’ll need in November. Plus, people have to eat before Thanksgiving.”

“We’d be happy to volunteer,” said Owen. “We’ve got an SUV. I trust that’s big enough?”

“That’s perfect,” said Alicia. “I’ll get you set up with the lists. Basically, you’ll want to visit as many houses on the list as you can. If nobody is home, just don’t cross the house off. If somebody is home, and accepts the food, cross the house off the list. Have somebody stay by the car. Each house gets a bag of food for each person living there, regardless of age. So, a single mom with twins would get three bags of food, even if the kids are infants, or not home. The number on the sheet is the number of bags the house has signed up for.”

“Sounds simple enough,” said Ryan. “You sure that you don’t need another set of hands around here to do heavy lifting?”

“No, but if you insist, you can help the volunteers load up the car when you come back to get more bags of food,” said Alicia. “Do you need to empty out the car first?”

“We already did that on the way here,” said Helen. “So let’s get to work!”

Six hours later, the volunteers were taking a break to eat pizza and drink generic diet soda for the caffeine. Owen, Ryan, and Helen had proven to be a great team. They had managed to deliver a little over two hundred bags of food to needy families in the area. The three of them were sitting at the same table as Alicia and Jasmine.

“So this place takes any sort of canned food donation?” asked Owen, looking at a flyer.

“Yeah, but the problem is, of course, getting those donations at all,” said Alicia. “People just don’t donate because it’s not that convenient. And there isn’t that much of an incentive. We also take cash donations, of course, but most people prefer to just donate their musty cans. A lot of food is expired and has to be tossed out.
