Food Drive

Our Stake did a food drive for the food bank tonight. I was there to load all the stuff into the truck to take it down there. There was a driving snowstorm before and during the thing, we kept getting wetter and wetter.

Lots of people came and brought lots of food. We filled the entire back of the truck with food. (Completely full, with the tarp on.)

When we got down the to the food bank, they weren't there. They had taken off. We went around back of the building, and found some dude in a little office. He wasn't part of the food bank, he was some other United Way thing. He eventually found a way to open the big giant door so we could drop the stuff off. (I didn't want to keep the stuff.)

After we got done, I went home, and turning the corner to the street, paramedics, a fire truck, and several cop cars were in front of the house. When I got just a little closer, something like a dozen guys came out of the house. I parked a few houses away, and walked up. It turns out they were coming out of the neighbors house. They didn't take anyone with them, they were pretty much just packing things up and leaving. Our neighbor didn't answer her door later, not sure what that was all about, but I'm glad it wasn't actually our house they were coming out of...
