Oh my, what a lovely welcoming experience! They did everything they could to make me (as a new client), feel valued and welcome. And no. Not just me. Several clients were there as well and they received the same warm hug as I had. A bit of humour. A friendly smile. I felt honoured to be a new member of the board of the Community Food Share. ![]()
