Day 17: Memorable Memorial Day

Indeed it was... spent another afternoon at Taste of Cincinnati, and then helped Give Back Cincinnati volunteers collect the 'extra', 'leftover' (call it what you will)food from the vendors for the Drop In Center. It was a unique experience to say the least. All the vendors were very supportive (combination of doing hte right thing and reducing their workload since they don't have to haul off and dispose of the food). What was interesting was the age-old battle of giving the food to the hungry man directly in front of you, or transporting it up the street to the center that feeds the hungry man. To avoid an absolute riot, we decided to stand our ground and instruct folks to head over to the drop in, where we'd be taking the food in 20 minutes.

But it was a rewarding experience, and we put the food that would otherwise have become garbage to good use.
