We helped hundreds of very grateful people going through some tough times, and we also did some jobs that ad agencies don’t normally do.
Some of us put on plastic gloves, reached into giant tubs of butter and spread our delicious findings on buns. Some of us wore unflattering hair nets. And we all got to either dish the food onto plates or run it to the tables. One of the regular volunteers could carry six plates at a time, which made us look pretty amateur, but our hearts were in the right place so that made up for our lack of serving skills.
Word got around that it was a delicious meal and after it was over we all received a very genuine applause (not the phony kind that you hear everywhere else). It sure does feel nice to be nice.
