It is truly wonderful to see people give back to their community. The project was an immense project and required significant coordination. Many would not have taken on the responsibility. Hopefully other people in the blogsphere will read about you did and follow your lead. Kris and Steve - my kudos to you on a project that appears to have been highly success.

We distributed about 4000 bags and collected, with the help of our community and high school volunteers, about 3/4 of a ton of food. (They are still weighing the donations which continue to come in.) The Second Harvest truck was completely full. Next year, we plan on doubling the effort. In short, we saw an amazing outpouring from the community, and what was the culmination of months of planning turned out to be a huge success! It really underscores the generosity of people, just in case we ever tend to doubt it. Thanks for asking. :) Jay - We are going to do a post as soon as all of our volunteers get their pictures to me.

Ines - Thank you. Unofficially we collected over half a ton of food donations yesterday (Saturday). Scripps Ranch really came through! Kris will no doubt post the official amount once we have it.

People who, through a series of perhaps random misfortunes, were suddenly without food and shelter. Shocking, but true. I am so proud of you both - with the incredible time constraints that you have - that you still take the time to care for others. We are all beneficiaries of the example you set. The Colonel would be so proud. Susan Berg Zuckerman Steve and Kris,

Sometimes we need a time-out from the day-to-day stuff to appreciate what we have and what others don't. We are hopeful of a great response from the community.
