FOOD FOR VOLUNTEERS
The bike drop-off event lasted four full days from 10-5 over two weekends. These generous food suppliers made sure the volunteers were well fed during those times, often going well beyond expectations. For example, Costa, who owns Varlamos Pizzeria, went in on a Sunday morning to bake the pizzas himself for our volunteers because their restaurant is normally closed on Sunday mornings and staff were not available. Others, like Essential Foods, who make healthy vegetarian food, came to our rescue when we informed them that our super health-conscious inner-city kids raised eyebrows when they found out that pizza would be served.
