at the Weld Food Bank was, hands down, one of the most edifying experiences of my life. It is nothing short of remarkable to have such a place that serves as a nexus for healthful information for entire communities. Even though I'm no longer able to be there I have retained the friendship of those who work there. I've told many people: if you're sick at heart, volunteer at a food bank for a few days. Those who took the advice were glad they did.

Keep up the good work!
