The Stanford Alumni association has a pretty large volunteer organization. Today was a nice session up at the San Francisco Food Bank. Stanford had a pretty good turn out and we had fun with food preparation.
Today, I was part of a crew packaging up bundles of snack food. The food bank gets large pallets of food and our job is to re-package it into classroom sized portions. Later I wound up sorting plums and nectarines. A bit more work, and a lot more lifting. Still the 2.5 hours went by fast.
I do recommend this to anyone looking for a great way to spend time with friends and family. Food banks feed a lot more people than you might think (this one distributes 107,000 meals a day). Here's a direct link to the volunteer calendar. Pick a time and show up!
