We went to the MOW headquarters for an orientation, during which Spencer made some cards to deliver with our meals. Then we collected our food and were on our way. I grabbed these pictures from Little Helping Hands' Shutterfly account.
A couple of funny things. First, the training video we watched showed lots of hugging and chatting during deliveries. Spencer was a little disappointed that we didn't have that type of experience. We only had three deliveries to make and there wasn't any embracing going on! I tried to explain that if a stranger came to our door, we probably wouldn't be too keen on hugging them either. The last woman did at least speak to us for a couple of seconds. Second, and I know this is probably going to sound terrible, we weren't in the best part of town for these deliveries. I just felt a little nervous at our last stop because there was a group of people standing in the middle of the road a block or so over; cars would stop, one of the guys would lean way into it, then the car would leave. I could only assume what was going on...probably asking for directions, right? If we do it again, I'd feel more comfortable if Dave joined us.
But that said, MOW is a great organization and I loved that Spencer and I had the chance to deliver food to people in need. I'm really excited to be connected with Little Helping Hands now!
