On Sunday, Maile and I headed over to the SF Marin Food Bank to volunteer for the morning alongside some of Maile’s classmates. One of the parents at PKS has really setup a great service program at the school – we’re big fans and have been having a lot of fun participating in the various activities.
I have to say the Food Bank volunteering was really well organized. We were tasked with sorting about 25,000 pounds(!) of pears – they were in these huge baskets and we sorted the good ones into boxes for delivery to families and removed the rotten ones. You really got a great sense of accomplishment working from the top to the bottom of the baskets – and the work was perfect for the kids. All in all an A+ service event!

When we got close to the bottom we threw the kids in the baskets (which they loved) and they finished things off...
