\n

I am not a numbers person.<\/span><\/p>\n

I love words.\u00a0 <\/span>And I love people.<\/span><\/p>\n

But I recognize that some
\npeople ARE numbers people, so that\u2019s why I led will this piece with figures:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>Over 150 hours<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>Spanning 56 days<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>7 adults (plus one as needed assistant)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>5 kids<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>Countless guests<\/span><\/p>\n

Those numbers represent
\nwhat it took to run the Little Yellow Free Pantry (LYFP) over the summer so that
\nDavid and I could get away for a much-needed break.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because you see, the LYFP
\nis not just a decoration on a street corner.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not an afterthought.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is a very intentional
\nand important part of our community.<\/span><\/p>\n

It helps feed people.\u00a0 <\/span>It gives them nourishment to have energy to
\ntackle their jobs.\u00a0 <\/span>Or to focus in school.\u00a0 <\/span>Or to take care of their family.\u00a0 <\/span>Or to simply survive.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, at 5 \u00bd years old, it has
\nbecome an integral part of the \u201cfood chain\u201d in our community.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Like I said, I am not a
\nnumbers person, so I don\u2019t usually share this fact\u2026\u00a0 <\/span>But the Little Yellow Free Pantry gives away over
\n$83,000 of food and toiletries annually (I am sure that number is actually much
\nhigher than that now with the price of groceries having risen so much).\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Because of the importance
\nof the LYFP in our community, it is sometimes difficult for David and I to get
\naway.\u00a0 <\/span>I feel guilty leaving the pantry
\nunattended.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now, you might be
\nthinking, \u201cOh Susan, it will be fine.\u00a0
\n<\/span>Just let it run organically.\u00a0
\n<\/span>People will put things in there.\u00a0
\n<\/span>The guests will be fine.\u00a0 <\/span>Don\u2019t
\nworry.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

But I KNOW many of these
\nguests.\u00a0 <\/span>I know their needs, their
\npreferences, their dietary restrictions\u2026\u00a0
\n<\/span>They are a part of this community, and I don\u2019t want to let them down.\u00a0 <\/span>I don\u2019t want them to repeatedly make the trek
\nto the LYFP (by bus, by foot, by car (using valuable gas), by bike, by
\nskateboard\u2026) and find it empty.<\/span><\/p>\n

Plus, we take the concept
\nof \u201cEverybody deserves good food\u201d seriously around here.\u00a0 <\/span>We believe that if we wouldn\u2019t eat it, we
\nshouldn\u2019t serve it in the pantry either.\u00a0
\n<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>That\u2019s why we are careful to sort
\nthrough donations.\u00a0 <\/span>If an item is open or
\nexpired, it does not go in the pantry.\u00a0
\n<\/span>We want guests to be treated with the respect all humans deserve, and
\nserving them food out of rusty, expired cans is not the way to do that.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

But that sorting takes a
\nlot of effort.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And opening the boxes of
\ndonated food takes a lot of work.<\/span><\/p>\n

As does hauling that heavy
\nfood downstairs.<\/span><\/p>\n

And noting expiration
\ndates on things.<\/span><\/p>\n

And shelving it all.<\/span><\/p>\n

And breaking down boxes
\nfor recycling.<\/span><\/p>\n

And decanting large
\nbottles of oil into smaller jars, and big bags of rice into meal size sealed packets.<\/span><\/p>\n

And talking with guests
\nwhen they visit to see if they have a special need that we might be able to
\nmeet.<\/span><\/p>\n

It takes a lot of time,
\neffort, and love to keep the pantry going.<\/span><\/p>\n

And while we are gone, it
\nalso takes a lot of communication and trust.<\/span><\/p>\n

And that\u2019s when the PANTRY
\nCREW steps in to replace us!<\/span><\/p>\n

We have a year-round, constant
\nPantry Crew, neighbors who are both kind and trustworthy.\u00a0 <\/span>Because, you see, they actually come into our
\nhome when we are not here to work on the pantry.\u00a0 <\/span>Never did I ever imagine living in a house
\nthat neighbors came in and out of when I was not present, but here we are!\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The constant crew was not
\nquite big enough to pick up the work for the summer, so we added some special
\nsummer crew members, too!\u00a0 <\/span>The summer crew
\nincluded:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>Teresa (and occasionally her husband Dan when donations
\nwere too heavy to carry down to the shelves)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>Kasey and her kids Mackenzie and Ryder<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>Christy<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>Jacquie<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>Ixi, Mac, and their kids Ixel and John<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>Cindy and her granddaughter Daisy<\/span><\/p>\n

This amazing group of
\nhumans kept the pantry alive while we escaped to Florida.\u00a0 <\/span>While we were swimming in the ocean, they
\nwere sweating carrying down heavy boxes of veggies.\u00a0 <\/span>While we were relaxing on the beach, they
\nwere talking with guests and getting them what they needed.\u00a0 <\/span>And while we were playing board games, they
\nwere cutting up boxes and hauling them to the curb.<\/span><\/p>\n

The pantry simply could
\nNOT exist without volunteers, and we are super grateful for these people!!<\/span><\/p>\n

Joining the crew showed summer
\nmembers firsthand how hard it is to manage a project of this scale.\u00a0 <\/span>It also allowed them to meet some guests and
\nsee firsthand who the food supports.\u00a0 <\/span>It
\ntaught the new child member responsibility (and she even brought her dad over
\none afternoon so she could teach HIM how it all works).\u00a0 <\/span>And it reinforced community, compassion, and empathy
\nfor all.<\/span><\/p>\n

We hosted a Thank You
\nParty for the Summer Crew and had a great time eating, laughing, and
\nchatting.\u00a0 <\/span>We talked about our favorite
\nthings to put in the pantry: Ixel \u2013 pads and tampons, Kasey \u2013 whole meals like
\npasta, spaghetti, and parmesan cheese, Daisy \u2013 honey, Susan \u2013 summer sausage,
\nIxi \u2013 Hormel Compleats meals\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

We talked about how fun it
\nis to meet guests, and how it is much more WORK than it appears from the outside.<\/span><\/p>\n

And we laughed about our
\nongoing joke \u2013 A CAN OF CARROTS<\/i><\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Usually when I talk with people
\nabout the pantry, they ask what things are popular <\/i>with guests.\u00a0 <\/span>But it is rare for someone to ask, \u201cWhat doesn\u2019t<\/u>
\nget taken??\u201d.\u00a0 <\/span>But when you work on the crew,
\nyou learn pretty quickly what the least favorite items are, and one of those is
\nfor sure cans of carrots<\/u>.<\/span><\/p>\n

We joke that we can put a
\ncan of carrots in and it will still be there 3 days later.\u00a0 <\/span>The shelves may have emptied and been
\nrefilled time and time again, but the CAN OF CARROTS remains!!\u00a0 <\/span>Canned carrots just don\u2019t go over that well.\u00a0 <\/span>To celebrate this fun fact, each Summer
\nPantry Crew member received a colorful shirt with the Kindness Activist logo on
\nthe front, and the phrase, \u201cI survived the Summer Pantry Crew\u2026\u00a0 <\/span>And so did a can of carrots.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>The shirts were a big hit!\u00a0 <\/span>(And I later learned that a young Summer
\nPantry Crew member even experimented with the positioning of the canned carrots
\non the shelves to see if that made a difference!\u00a0 <\/span>Apparently, it did not\u2026)<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Ixi and Kasey modeling their new shirts<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The other item that sometimes
\nstays in the pantry for a long time is boxed stuffing\/dressing.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>To make stuffing, you need to have an oven
\n(and to make it tasty, you need other ingredients).<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Also, I think not all cultures have stuffing
\nas a \u201cthing\u201d, so it is just not a big hit in the pantry.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, being on pantry
\nduty also shows you what the most popular items are!\u00a0 <\/span>Some of those are:\u00a0 <\/span>drinks of any kind, fruit cups, cans of
\nfruit, cans of hearty soup, Compleats meals, microwave popcorn, ramen, Maseca, pasta,
\nand pasta sauce.\u00a0 <\/span>Oh, and toiletries of
\nany kind!!\u00a0 <\/span>Pantry guests cannot use SNAP
\nbenefits to buy toiletries, so shampoo, deodorant, feminine hygiene products, toothpaste,
\nlotion, shaving cream\u2026\u00a0 <\/span>We hand out a lot
\nof toiletries.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
What’s YOUR favorite thing to put in the pantry?\u00a0 Some of the Summer Crew!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The Summer Pantry crew was
\na great reminder for me of how it really does take a village.\u00a0 <\/span>Without their support, we would not be able
\nto get away to recharge.\u00a0 <\/span>I am so
\ngrateful for their hard work and commitment.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
