My daughter and I volunteered at Rosie's Place in Boston the other day. We worked in the food pantry for a few hours, waiting on the clients. Each gets a number and we escort them through the pantry one on one. They get to choose what they want, and they leave with a couple of well-packed bags of food. While the clients wait for their number, they eat in the dining room, where my daughter and I eventually had dinner as well. This is my third time volunteering at Rosie's, first in the food pantry. I plan to make it a regular gig with my daughter, perhaps every two weeks. When I put together this drawing, I was very intentional about not including any of the clients. Each of the red aprons indicates a volunteer. Some volunteers have worked weekly for years, and for some it is the first time. Wonderful organization.
This is my three hundred sixty-ninth daily drawing. Thank you for looking.
