Mary Jo and her children became dedicated volunteers after the family's holiday gifts were stolen four Christmases ago in a car break-in. Area charities came to the family's aid with new Christmas gifts. When the kids think they've got it bad, it reminds them there are people who have it a lot worse. Throughout their summer vacation, Megan and Justin will spend two days a week at the Anderson Ferry Food Pantry. Megan stocks shelves and offers encouragement.
People walk in looking angry or sad.
Justin carries bags of groceries and clothing to waiting cars. As they tugged apart a piece of cheese pizza, he and his sister discussed working with the needy. You're not a couch potato. Justin talked about the people he sees at the food pantry. He compared their lives with his.
