Just prior to Thanksgiving, I met up with my friend Brian, who heads the Byron Saunders Foundation – an organization that works all year to collect food to distribute to needy families so they are assured of having Thanksgiving dinner. This will be the third year I’ve made photographs of their operations – the volunteers a couple days before, sorting and packing boxes; and then the Sunday before when volunteers form a human assembly line to help load up vehicles from local food pantries for distribution to the actual families. We were in a new spot this year – much roomier! – and things flowed smoothly as thousands of pounds of food made its way to those who need it most.
