SF Food Banks - A Call To Service

Published by jodapoet at 11:06 am under News, San Francisco Edit This

Barack Obama’s call to service leading up to Martin Luther King Jr. day was heard with a spectacular response here in San Francisco.  There were so many volunteers at local food banks that they had to extend their hours in order to accommodate everyone that wanted to participate and help.

Glide Memorial Church who on a daily basis feeds the hungry and homeless in San Francisco held a celebratory mass in honor of Barack Obama yesterday.  They spoke of him, celebrated him and even sang a song about him.  They brought more volunteers into their own community to help feed the needy.

Many former Obama campaign volunteers got together and volunteered at various food banks around the city.  It was a day of volunteering and a day of giving all as a result of our next president and his call to service.

    This was really the best action Obama could take to set an example to the People. He should be called ‘DEAR LEADER’ lol.
