  • My coworkers and I were invited by the Tempe Convention & Visitors Bureau to volunteer for a few hours this week at St. Mary's Food Bank. Being Thanksgiving week and the fact that mom is in town, we thought it would be a good way to spend an afternoon. It was...and even more so than I expected. There are apparently 3 St. Mary's locations around the Valley and it boggles my mind thinking about all the people they serve. We arrived at the warehouse and to my surprise there were police everywhere -- directing the massive flow of traffic for folks needing food this holiday. We spent several maniacial, fun & crazy hours packing bags, loading carts and slinging turkeys and veggies for families lined up for a mile to receive food. It was organized chaos, but sooooo much fun. The amazing thing was that we were jamming out cart after cart (each shopping cart could accommodate 6 shopping bags of foodstuffs for needy families) of donated deliciousness and the line out front consumed them as fast as we could create them. Some folks got 2 bag dinners: 1 bag with pasta, rice, nuts and canned goods with a frozen turkey, bread, tortillas & frozen veggies -- and 1 bag with fresh celery, cabbage, potatoes, fruit, onions and such. I ducked out front once for a smoke and was deeply touched by the smiling, thankful faces of people receiving their Thanksgiving dinners thanks to St. Mary's. I've never volunteered my time like this before and frankly it was so fulfilling, I think I need to make this a "more than once a year" activity. Huge kudos to the generous and selfless folks at St. Mary's as well as all the volunteers from my company, the Tempe Convention & Visitors Bureau, and the teams of other random volunteers who helped bring so much simple( yet necessary) joy to so many families in need right here in Phoenix.
