"There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her.” Luke (10:42)
My name is Don Martinski. I am a volunteer for the Food Truck at Assumption.
Last year I was asked by the chairperson of the Food Truck, Sue Barta, to organize the loading of the cars, 150 or more, in the parking lot for the free grocery pick-up. I met with the food truck personnel at St. Johns Parish-food giveaway, to learn the safe way to pass out free food to a large group of people without the volunteers getting hurt. We will make it a safe, respectable, and organized event so everyone gets fed.
Doing this volunteer work helps me feel that I am doing God’s work to feed the hungry.
