Community Food Center

Here are some pictures from Saturday, March 20 at the Community Food Center.




We were helping CFC sort through produce and bread (looking out for any spoiled food).



We also helped them arrange the cans on the shelves so that it would be easier for shoppers to find the cans they were looking for.
