Word TravELS 011 July - December 2017

Mark unloaded one box, the volunteer arrived
to greet him, happily thanked him for
the contribution and said, “that’s a lot of
food,” and was about to return to his office
when Mark showed him the contents of the
cargo space…
Surprise!
Thanks to all ELS students & staff for their
enthusiasm. (We are proud of you!) Thanks
again to the UAlberta Vehicle Pool for their
kind support. And a very special thanks to
Barbara for driving the spirit of the food drive
home!
In fact, we couldn’t have been
luckier that we had the van that
day: the items filled its entire
cargo space, only leaving room
for Barbara and Mark (ELS office
staff member and designated
driver of the hour) to make the
delivery.
What unfolded next was in itself
an interesting side story worth
sharing.
Upon arriving at SUB, Mark
parked the van by the loading
dock and texted the Food Bank Campus volunteer. As
Indeed, we can. And so we did.
