2/10/09-Grand Central Food

Tuesday was my second trip to the Grand Central Food.  It was basically the same as the first, but this time I was not as nervous.  What is really nice about Grand Central Food is that anyone can get food; you don’t have to be registered, like St. Johns Food Pantry, you just wait outside and when they call you in, you get your food and then leave.  Most people eat their food outside the doors of the place, on the street. 

When I got there I did not help pack bags this time, but instead, I helped give out the extra food like the sandwiches and the sweets.  It was really nice to interact with a lot of people, because for a lot of people, this station is a life saver because it gives them dinner and food to sustain themselves.  After the big group got their food, we moved all the food to the vans and waited for any last stragglers.  I can’t wait till I go in the vans.  Maybe I can go in the vans when I come back on Friday the 12.
