After working all day Tuesday on pouring concrete, then traveling over an hour each way to rescue the container full of food, and then unloading half of the contents of one truck, and loading it onto another truck . . . this family deserved a day to sleep in and rest. They didn't get it.
The truck driver badly needed to get back on the road, to try to salvage some of his schedule. We started unloading his truck onto our carport at 7am on Wednesday.
Here is the container, which of course was already half unloaded, from the night before.
We used the pallets to keep the boxes of food up off the floor, in case we should get water in the carport again.
The pile grows . . .
. . .and grows . . .
. . . and grows!
The food distributions have already begun, to schools, feeding centers, and orphanages in our area. This is a LOT of food, and we'll be handling distribution for several months. Russell will have the job of driving out into the mountains to deliver many of these boxes of food.
