Sandwiches on Children's Day

Every 5-6 years Children's Day falls on April 30th. The community center's parking lot is filled with booths and activities, and we have to hold Sandwiches on Sunday at the back entrance.

Antonio from the community center directed our regular customers to the temporary location. We passed out lunches to a number of new faces--festival-goers who heard that there was free food out back--and within 20 minutes all 80 bags and bottles of water were distributed.

The volunteers took a few minutes to check out the Children's Day festivities. It seemed more subdued than previous years, with less music, dancing, costumes, and food.

The funk that everyone seems to be in for the past three years still lingers.
