Today, Brian Grev and I went to the Ballard Food Bank to deliver our Program's contribution of 600 pounds of food: cannned vegetables, cereal, soups, and other staples.
We started our Food Drive several months ago. We got the idea from one of our members who had lost over 100 pounds. She had a party in honor of her victory, and asked her neighbors to bring food for the food bank.
So, we invited our members to bring a pound of food for every pound they had lost through the program. Our goal was 600 pounds of food donations - to celebrate the first 600 pounds we'd lost.
It felt good to contribute to the community - especially since food banks tend to get fewer contributions at this time of year.

Our plan is to continue the drive - that way, we'll continue to remind ourselves of our victories and help our community at the same time!
We're all in this together.
