“Our Pleasure.”
Yesterday I received a very nice note from Bob & Theresa at THE RED CROSS.
“OUR PLEASURE! THANK YOU.”
That Monday morning I realized that Max’s Deli had been spared from the fire. I asked the girls if they would be willing to spend an hour or two prepping sandwiches and getting them into the hands of firefighters, as well as those who’d become displaced during the ongoing fire. They gladly volunteered. Actually, I think it was when I mentioned “Firefighters”, that the girls thought it was a REALLY good idea…
So for a few hours we prepped sandwiches and then weaseled our way into “The Command Zone”, where we handed out food & bottled water to those in need. It was difficult to see the faces of people we new, standing in the street, waiting…for something, anything in the way of good news regarding their homes. For many that news would never come.
Days later, when the folks at THE RED CROSS asked if we could volunteer our services to prep food for those in need, we said YES! Many people came together to volunteer during those days following the fire, holding benefits to raise money for those in need. I’d like to thank the folks at Raley’s/Bel Air for donating much of the food we prepped during those latter days after the fire.
