Hey, Food Bank Friends, it's me, Pickles! 🥒 Today, I helped at the Agency Dock! I loaded up fresh fruit and items into trucks for our Agency Partners to take back to their locations and distribute to neighbors! Always remember, bend your knees when lifting! Well, I'd better wrap up; I have another day tomorrow!

Hey, Food Bank Friends, it's me, Pickles! 🥒 Today was a wheel-y great day! I helped the Transportation Team with Logistics! The Food Bank has 27 drivers and on average the entire team drives 760,000 miles a year! Planning the routes, arranging the drivers, making sure we are using time and resources wisely ... it made my head spin! The team is amazing at organizing, planning and making sure food gets to neighbors throughout Northern Illinois! Well, I'd better wrap up; I have another day tomorrow!
