Once again, GRIN delivered Back to School treats to every elementary, K-8, and middle school in the Amphi District. This is what my car looked like once everything was loaded.
The blue IKEA bag behind the goodies was necessary - there were lots of cakes and brownies and more cakes and cookies and muffins and fruit tarts and fancy cupcakes and more cakes and cookies and even some Hostess products.
How does this wonderfulness happen?
Vera - a manager at my Albertsons.
She smiles at me in July and agrees to have supplies for me in August.
The store provides some, she provides some, and this year other staff members donated, too.
Year after year after year she does this.
Why?
It's for the kids.
It's that simple for her.... and for me.... and for every grateful face I saw in every office for 3 hours this morning. Doing good for the little ones is its own reward.
But Vera deserves her own special reward, and this is all she'll let me offer.
You are very special.
