During today's distribution, a lady who is a mother and wife to a very nice family kept on lingering around even after she got what she needed until everyone left. The volunteer thought she needed something extra due to a crisis.

BUT LO AND BEHOLD

She pulled our volunteer to the side and told her the following:

"We are a family with dignity and we would never consider taking from charity, we were always able to be on the giving side, last year my husband lost his job and were so desperate, I cannot tell you how much the Foodbank has helped our family throughout our difficulties, I know you do not hear it often enough but THANK YOU so much. Tomorrow my husband is starting a new job and you can take us off your list. Additionally My husband and myself have discussed and decided that when we are able once again to give the L'chaim Foodbank will be the first charity we will give to - having experienced the vital need first hand"
