Sometimes It's Good To Be Boss...

At 2:00 p.m. on Friday afternoon, fifteen comfortably dressed and well-fed-looking people walked into the Fort York Food Bank on Dundas Street West in Toronto. They looked a little out of place and some of them may have felt so. One of them walked purposefully to the back of the shop and made some enquiries. 

Before long, these fifteen people were folding eggs three at a time into newsprint sheets...

or portioning day old buns and bread loaves into bags....

or breaking down cardboard boxes...

or unpacking bags of carrots, potatoes and beets into crates...

or sorting and shelving packaged food.

The Fort York Food bank is one of the largest agencies of the Daily Bread Food Bank. It provides food and a suite of other services to the 180-200 people who walk through its doors every day.

The food the fifteen people separated, sorted and packaged for two hours will all be more-or-less gone within the next 24 hours.

This is how my exceptional team and I spent our "Branch Day." 

Thanks for reading!  Have a great week!
