• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you certainly get plenty to eat.

  Speaker 3: The couple of new ones is you're as Wingstop. They're
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: new in town and we've also got well try Count
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: is not new, but they're back. So we're glad to
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: have them back. And really appreciate all the restaurants who
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: do it every year. And with this economy, that's amazing.
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: It is because everybody's on such a tight budget and
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: we appreciate everything. We know how tough it is in
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: the restaurant business, you know, and we appreciate all the
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: help that everybody gives us.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: And of course because the people you serve you know that.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: I mean, you live it and we live it every
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: day every day.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: And give out that you know, you know, something like
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: forty over forty five hundred meals a month.
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: Yes, and we have anywhere from thirty to seventy people
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: every month that has never eaten with us before, which
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: that number just still blows my mind.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: So you know it's people.
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: That's not enter database, that has not eaten with us before.
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: I get calls all the time, you know, I've never
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: eaten there before. What do I have to bring with
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: me in order to eat? I say, as long as
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: we have your name, address and birthday.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: You can have a nutritious meal today. So you know,
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: we're not going to make them, you know, give their
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: blood or you know, firstborn or something like that.
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: You know, we just ask when they're And the only
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: reason we ask for their birthday is simply because the
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: computer keeps track of their age, which we have to
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: do demographics for all the reporting that we do, and
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: so that's the only reason we have.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it you know it is you have elderly
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: programs and.
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: Kid and then the on side program and we do
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: you know, over six hundred sacks a week with the
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: food for kids, and we're just now gearing up, you know,
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: school's going to start here in another you know, three weeks,
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: and so we're already gearing up for that program. So
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: you know, I'll put a plug in for Rizy if
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: if you're say you just retired and you're looking for
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: something to do. We have teams of people that drive
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: every week for us, that deliver to all the schools
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: or if you want to pack, help pack sacks. It's
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: every Monday from one to three. She'll start packing sacks
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: every Monday, the first Monday after Labor Day, okay, and
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: we'll do a few deliveries before that, but that's when
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: we try to gear up.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: Is this the Monday after labor awesome?
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Well, and it does take so many volunteers and all
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: the resources you can collect, I'm sure.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: And just to provide all those services.
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, you know, and every time, you know, we're just
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: like everybody else. Every time you go to the grocery
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: store or something's went up, every time we have to
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: order something, you know, because we don't get everything donated
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: and I can't get everything at the food bank.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: We do our best.
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: I mean, you know, we go pick up from five
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: days a week from one local grocer, one time a
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: week from another, one two times a week from another one.
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: So we're trying to take everything that still has a
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: little life in it. You know, it may not be
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: they can't sell it anymore, but it's still good. And
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: so we take those items and we use them, we
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: share them, or we give them to our people for
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: them to take home. And we protect our vendors because
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: everything that we get in that we're going to give
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: to a client, we mark out the bar codes so
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: there's no shenanigans would happen to go on.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: But they're very appreciative.
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: Our people are very thankful for everything they get because
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: you know, they're trying to decide whether they're going to
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: pay rent or buy a medicine or groceries, or pay
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: a water bill or electrical it's.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Kind of this community too.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: Oh absolutely.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: You know, if you're on a fixed income and you
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: make less than one thousand dollars a month, by the
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: time you pay rent and a utility bill, that's pretty
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: much gone, you know, because you're looking at most a
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: lot of our people make between seven and nine hundred
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: dollars a month with disability or so security, and so
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: you can't go out and eat. You know how expensive
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: it is to go out and eat. And they're outing
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: maybe once a week to come to a goffee and
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: meet their friends there and they have a nice lunch.
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: So you know, there's varying reasons. You have as many
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: reasons why people eat there as people that eat there.
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: But everyone is low to no income.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: You mentioned why people. You know a little bit of
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: information you have to give to get meals. Tell us
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: about you know where to go when the meals are served.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: Oh absolutely, We're there five days a week.
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: We're open to the public from eleven to one forty five,
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: so you can come in between those times and all
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: you have to do give your name, address, birthday, we'll
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: put you in the computer. You get a ticket, you
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: go through the line, sit down and eat, bitch, try it,
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: you know. And we have people that eat there once
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: a week, once a month, once every day.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: You know, no, no requirements.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: No, no, we don't you know.
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: I think Jesus fed people and he didn't ask him
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: did you did you have something else today? But many
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: of our people will tell you that this is the
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: only meal that they may have a snack here there,
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: and a lot of times that's the snack that we're
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: giving them at the giveaway table.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: But that's the only nutritious meal that get.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: That well, and all the money that's raised through the
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: empty bowls, yes, event goes towards.
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: The one percent goes to buy food and by utility
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: bills and packsacks, and you know, it all goes one
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: percent right back into the programs.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: And most of what we get is all net.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: We get.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: We can have a lot of people pay for our expenses,
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: you know, sponsors, so we get we're fortunate that that
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: we don't have a big.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: We're going to have extensive.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: They're wonderful and we can't get them all on the poster.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: I was looking at that on the poster, there's dozens, yea.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: And yes, they're so thankful for all of them.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they say, you know, some of the small ones,
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: we could always uh not put them on the poster,
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: but I'm going no, they need to recognition to so you.
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: Know, we go all the way from you know, Conico, Phillips,
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: Phillips Petroleum, Crossling Construction, all the way down to uh,
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: you know, looking Sharp, which is they give us an
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: in kind when we get done with the event, I
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: take all my aprons that we've all worn that day
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: and then for us for nothing.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: So we appreciate that.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: That does take the community to happen these kinds of events,
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: and for a GOPE mission, it is a community driven
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: organization and like I said, has such a great impact
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: on us. And we all know that that, you know,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: budgets are strained this these days.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: We've got a lot of of uh, you know, we
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: see that in the car business.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: The whole.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Thing with you know, the spike and vehicle prices a.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Few years ago after the COVID thing and rare scarcity
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: of vehicles, and and some of the cars cost way
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: more than they had a few years earlier, and now
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: people are wanting, needing to get out of those Sometimes there's.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: An equity positions.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: We're having to be more than ever really almost advisors
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: on how to how to get the most for your car.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: We're lucky to have Toyota. It's uh, you know, the
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: value of toyotas the long term cost of ownership, the
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: way that the residual or resale value of the vehicle works,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: and the low maintenance and you know, reliability of the
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: vehicle is a is a story and more and more
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: consumers are interested in that.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: I saw something in the.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: News this week from the American Customer Satisfaction Index people
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: that Toyota is.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: The now the number one brand.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Historically, a lot of the luxury brands had been number
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: one in that and Toyota moved to number one this year,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: ahead of all the other automotive brands. And and because
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: a lot of those things long term cost of ownership payments,
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: concern future costs causing you know, looking at fuel economy,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: resale value, and the total.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Cost of ownership. And it's a great great to brand
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: to look at.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: If we can help you all through that process, if
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: you have any questions, we try to be real transparent
• 12:53

  Speaker 2: and call it we call it a simple price. And
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: and our noncommissioned sales team, because they're not motivated by
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: the gross profit we make on a vehicle sale, they

• 15:26
  Speaker 5: It depends on if you're going to work all day
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: or if you just work for two hours. But you know,
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: I call it a two hour shift because we're there.
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: Volunteers start coming in at nine thirty. You know, you
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: can't just twitch your nose and all of a sudden
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: there's a meal there. You have to start chopping salad
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: and making salads.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: And you know, doing all the trap.
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, so yeah, nine thirty they come in. Then
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: about ten forty five then if the second crew comes in,
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: then that's the serving crew. And then about one twelve
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: thirty or so, we have the third crew come in,
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: which is the finish serving and the clean up crew,
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: and then we're ready to go the next day do.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: It all over again, because you do have to track
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: some of data.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Do you know how many volunteer hours it takes for
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: a day, for a day or a week.
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: Or we usually have just in the Food for Kids program,
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: I think she has over four hundred volunteer hours a month.
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: And that's just packing the sex, you know, and you know,
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: you take one person and they're there for you know,
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: two hours, but if you've got fifteen people in there
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: for two hours, you know.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: That's how those sacks are delivered through the schools.
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: To every school.
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: We have drivers that deliver every Thursday or whatever the
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: last is. The schools determined how many sex you know,
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: they do it all they Rizzy is in touch with
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: them every week to verify because we have a sheet
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: that verifies our numbers of who We just know the
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: kid's name and what class are in and what age
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: they are, and she is in contact with this school
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: staff every week because sometimes you know, people move and
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: different things. So they verify numbers and we deliver to
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: that school whatever sacks they need that week.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Amazing.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: It's a whole process and it is yeah, I mean,
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: it's so much going on and it goes throughout the year,
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: even though some of it well for school.
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: Well, and we have provided some summer school sacks. You
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: know of kids that was in summer school. I think
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: she did I think three hundred and fifty sacks or
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: something like that for the summer. So yeah, even though
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: she can get those all done and we deliver them
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: two times, I think there's a there's summer school and
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: then it changes and there's another summer school, so she
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: delivers two different times. But yeah, you know, and we
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: serve between four and five thousand meals a month and
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: the on site program that's people that actually come in
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: and our senior meal program. We have about twenty two
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: people on our senior program. We'd love to have more
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: every people that we could do another team. I have
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: people on the waiting list. Yes, we have senior We
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: have hospital callers, you know, because these people, our senior
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: people are people that are on a very low income.
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: They have no transportation, they have no family.
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: Basically, we are it to get them a meal every day,
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: and we've had the hospital call. It's they're about to
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: release somebody on and want to make sure that they
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: have a meal. Now, we're not the only one in
• 18:26
