Food Bank

This was an eye-opener. The big malls end up with a lot of food stuff , toys, cosmetics, personal care stuff that are slightly shop soiled, primary /secondary packaging damages.. They send it to the Food bank for distribution to the poor and needy- free. NJ has a sizable number of these banks who collect them and forward them to outlets for the poor.

A week ago , I went along with my colleagues to do a day's work at the Food bank. We sorted out the huge quantities of supplies , put them in cartons and placed them on pallets . We should be able to start something like this in Mumbai...

Back breaking work but very satisfying.
