On Saturday morning (11/21/2009) a handful of intrepid ADDA'ers marched into the Auburn Food Bank to repack flour and sugar for the needy. What was supposed to be an easy morning turned into something quite different. The sugar and flour job went to a local Little League team. We ended up with the task of counting and sorting over 5,000 individual "units" (a unit being an individual can, jar, or package) of donated food.

Tim Ritchey, Joseph Ritchey (his son), Julie Axberg, Gabriel Sosienski, Sam Little, Ashley Shoemaker, and myself transformed a disordered and chaotic mess into the very picture of order. As drafters, we took satisfaction in the squared edges of the stacked crates, but as people we felt good at providing a means of feeding over 300 families.

Thanks again to all those who participated.
