Vintage Cookbooks! Free books!



 It was my first time going to PALS to get food. Cars lined up to get one box per person from the food pantry that had been donated by the community - the week after Thanksgiving, we got a turkey and outside I spotted a cardboard box full of books.

"Can I have those books?" I asked one of the volunteers.

"Yes any books outside this door is free." And she motioned for Anthony to take it. 

There was a total of 20 free cookbooks!  One book sold a few hours after listing on Mercari.

Families, even my cat family, were helped very much thanks to the generosity of donors, volunteers, partner agencies, and supporters.
