Cleaning & Packaging
We had a wild and crazy night at the Tarrant Area Food Bank! For the first time that I can remember, there were a few too many volunteers. The TCU Alumni group was there, along with another group, as well as this extra special group called Cowtown Vettes.
Once our group picture was taken and our check presented, we were the first group to go into the work area. Since many of us had worked there before, we thought we knew what to do, however we soon learned that we would be sorting food into groups along the wall. Butter in one area, dairy and cooler items in another area, etc. TAFB had some new folks organizing the work area so instructions were vague and sometimes non-existent, but they were trying. We tackled the job and got it done quickly. I’m sure the liquid creamers that we put in dairy, which in fact should have gone in the “cooler items” section will still be fine. By this time the two other groups had joined in and there were people everywhere.
