Last week, the week before Thanksgiving, the bravest turkey showed up on our front porch and was looking through the window at all of us. Typically, foodbanks receive a lot of donated turkey for our customers, but in an uncanny twist, this turkey was alive and well. Tame as can be, she was simply looking for a snack. We fed her some locally grown produce and walked her home. Two days later, she was on our front porch again. But this time, she disguised herself as a volunteer so she could stay a bit longer. And to be honest, she did a great job.
She worked the parking lot and waived to our customers.
She checked in our deliveries (unfortunately this pallet was frozen turkeys)
She tried to get in our she-shed break room to kick her feet up for a moment.
She unloaded the van.
She worked the checkout line inside The Market and made everyone smile.
After all that work, we walked our little helper home. What a brave girl to hang out at a foodbank just days before thanksgiving!
It’s tradition around here that after 50 hours of service you get a customized name tag. Any ideas on what her name should be? With 3 Stephanie’s on our Market team, our staff would like to name her “Stuffany”.
I can’t make this up….
HAPPY THANKSGIVING from Stuffany and the Market Team.
