Where there are Makers, there’s a way!
Last week we heard about a massive amount of food available through the World Farmers in Lancaster, and the clock was ticking. The deal expires on May 28th. We contacted them, we took 5 pallets of 30lb boxes – 42 each, over 1200lbs per pallet for a total of over 6000lbs of food, or just over 3 tons.
You know… ’cause we can.
A few phone calls (yup, old-school) and some emails and a couple of face-to-face visits, as well as some creative re-use of styrofoam panels from Hergon, our neighbors, plastic sheeting and some random refrigeration re-purposed, and a day later, and we got it done. We placed 210 boxes of food in homes in Lynn just before the weekend.
We made some new friends, too… the wonderful folks at St. Stephen’s, the Food Security Task Force at City Hall, the guys at UHaul on the Lynnway… good times!
Thanks to everybody who helped out, and stay tuned, we have some fun planned for next week!
