We have started volunteer service at the West Point Food Bank. It is run and managed by a wonderful couple here, with hearts of gold, and a real love for those less fortunate. Many needy families get bags of groceries with good food that they would not otherwise be able to afford. Unfortunately, there is still a great need that is not met. The workers are all volunteer. The sponsor arranges to get the food, much of which comes from near-to-expiration items from WalMart, as well as the USDA. We try to participate 2 nights a week in bagging and organizing the items for distribution the next day. Sometimes the morning volunteers who direct the distribution will have time to bag for the next day, and we don't have to come in.
This has been a great way for us to get involved in the West Point community, meet some great people, and provide service.
