A typical day would arriving at the warehouse before 8 a.m. We would plan out which personnel go to each store to pick up the food donations. We would arrive to stores and pick up the donations for feeding america. We would bring them back to the warehouse and store the food in a walk-in refrigerator. When it was time to distribute the food to low income families we would load up the box truck and bring it to the distribution area. We would pass food out to roughly 200 families.
