• Glide Thanksgiving Volunteer

  I volunteered at Glide in SF to help prepare Thanksgiving meals for the needy. They had a big room set up for carving turkey and ham. There were a bunch of camera crews there shooting cutting away. I'm not sure if I made it it any of the footage they used, but I know I was in view of the cameras.

  A full, bone-in ham. These suckers were heavy!

  I went through 1 medium-sized turkey & 2 hams in the our 90 minute shift. Cutting for 90 minutes straight is no joke. My hand started to get fatigued after a while, so I had to switch up my grip (twss?). But it was worth it. The line for the meals had wrapped around the block so I couldn't see where it ended, kinda like a Black Friday line. It's nice to know that I could lend a hand in helping the hungry eat a decent meal for the holidays.
