Last Wednesday at the dump, the lines were long. Longer than they have been in a long time. We could see almost immediately we did not have enough food. We began giving smaller portions and still did not have enough. Our water went fast. We scraped the pots for every grain of rice and every bean. Some people were content with one tortilla and a few grains of rice on top of it. Some people waited in line all that time and did not get anything. That always just kills me. The people seemed really hungry. Like maybe they had not eaten since the Wednesday before.
Today the lines were long, too. We are getting good at portion control. At least, today every one got food and some even got seconds. Portions were small, but everyone got something.
Thanks to everyone that donates to the dump fund. You make a huge difference everyweek. We could not keep feeding without your help.
