Sandwiches on Saturday and Sunday

The six volunteers--Janis, Elliott, Daniel, Valerie, Mary and Elliott Jr. (the latter two not in the picture)--gathered at the Parish Hall on Saturday to assemble the sandwiches and drop them in the brown bags.

It took 90 minutes from start to clean-up, a little longer than usual. Janis advised us that we were not slathering on enough peanut butter and jelly.

Previously we had been making the layers too thin; in other words we were too skimpy on the Skippy, and now we had a real PB&J.

I took the 80 brown bags to the Fair Oaks Community Center on Sunday. About 40 people were in line. They were happy that more diners had not showed up because each was now able to receive two bags and two bottles of water.

Deborah Orler from Hearts for Humanity drove up in her van and passed out more bags to the clientele. She then sped off to other food-distribution centers on the Peninsula.

Within half an hour everything was given away, and I packed up the empty containers. Setting aside a portion for tomorrow is normally a virtue, but not for Sandwiches on Sunday.
