I've been spending a lot of time volunteering at Seasonal Worker's lately. Jason is working there more than full-time and I am in there almost full-time. Some of the work is pretty sad. Every day we see five or six families (at least, many days it is more than that), needing emergency food. Many people come in requesting blankets or warm clothes and we do the best we can to help them find what they need. It feels like a revolving door though, anything we do isn't going to be enough. Until people in the valley are making enough money to survive on, the best we can do is to keep sending them out with bags of food, or blankets and some hope.

I wish they didn't need us. It is going to be a long, cold winter for a lot of people.
