Willing Hands: Few But Capable

Between stuffing myself with both hands full of delicious samples, I take a break to chat with Willing Hands. The day to day work they do impresses me so immensely. The ambitious delivery service of food each day to a community requiring a delivery service because of how remote residences are can always use more hands and volunteers.

We chatted about how delicious the bread at the bakery in Norwich where I work is and how they would love to pick up more food from other willing businesses if only they had more donors and the capacity to make more pick-ups and drop-offs. They work closely with The Haven as well which first educated me to the easily ignored hunger and food insecurity issues in the Upper Valley due to its relative invisibility vis-a-vis hunger in large cities with more apparent homeless populations and shelters, soup kitchens, etc. It was great and important to see Willing Hands presence at Flavors of the Valley.

Definitely contact Willing Hands or The Haven to add yourself to the few but capable people working to fight hunger. (see www.willinghandsinc.org or contact info@willinghandsinc.org)
