 Capitalism and a Food Bank Volunteer

 “As a side note, the woman working next to me was a younger Hispanic woman who was very chatty.  She obviously volunteered often, as she knew many of the full time workers on the forklifts.  She told them she'd lost 150 pounds.  I looked at her with surprise.  She replied ‘I'm 5'4" and have 3 kids and I'm a single mother.  The weight was killing me, so I chose to lose it.   And I did.’  I congratulated her and asked what she did for a living.  She replied ‘I run my own trucking company out of my house, I have 5 trucks and if I need to drive I will, but I've got full time workers now.  I also help others in my neighborhood sell their crafts online.’  I was surprised and said ‘You still have time to volunteer here?’  She said ‘I'm a workaholic, what can I say?  I have to keep moving.’"
