Brightening Their Day

Boxes of fresh vegetables await distribution

For our congregation it has become an anticipated Easter ritual. There were 12 names on the sign-up sheet ("many hands make light work") for the 16 food items--no more, no less--that went into each box. After double-checking the list we took the boxes to CALL Primrose, which has been aiding people in need on the Peninsula since 1983.

Each box had contents that were modest--canned items, bake mixes, grocery gift cards--and won't make much of a difference in the recipients' lives. But it should brighten their day. © 2012 Stephen Yuen
