Hey y’all,
My left leg barely works. I retore the meniscus. I need help this afternoon and tomorrow desperately.
Here’s the future:
If people don’t start filling the on site help slots, we’re going to reduce the distributions to bread, veggies, and deli stuff only.
This can’t go on, we can’t stock snacks, canned goods, meats etc. Legitimate adoptees will always be cared for.
But, There are plenty of people including some able bodied adoptees (those of you already stepping up, thank you so much. You’re amazing), that can accomplish light tasks, sit at a desk, make phone calls. If you can take a few cans off a shelf, you can put a few cans on a shelf!
There are way too many folk taking advantage of the system. I guarantee that things are going to change if people don’t sign up.
Those of you not helping or barely helping will be responsible to everyone for the changes and the changes won’t be pleasant. There is no excuse for expecting the few to do the jobs that require many. Those of us doing your share have had enough. You know who you are and guess what, So do we! We’re studying the members list and their volunteer contributions. Abusing the core group of reliable hard working folks will not stand! The dead limbs need to and will come off the tree. Count on it! Sign up to be a part of one of the teams on the wheel,
(See freezer walk in door)!
They all require phone help, paperwork help, computer help, planning and organization help. Not everyone has to lift 40 # boxes. I guarantee that if people join those teams, we can reduce the monthly hourly requirement for everyone.
How important is your weekly food from Gleaner’s?
Think about it.
