I knew that there were some less fortunate people in Ingersoll but I had no idea the amount. What an eye opener it was! I liked that it wasn't really sad and "I feel sorry for them" it was fun, everyone was happy and it was great to see their smiles! All the people getting the hampers were very greatful and polite towards me. I learned that even if you don't get what you want, giving someone else what they want/need is worth so much more. Christmas is not about what you receive, its a time to make others happy. I am definitely doing this all day next year! Since I wasn't able to find a soup kitchen or anywhere like that to help out on Christmas, this was a great experience that I will always remember and continue to do throughout the years no matter where I am.
There were a few people that really touched my heart. Two gentlemen came together with nothing but a wagon and were so grateful for what they got! When I asked where they wanted the boxes and they directed me towards the wagon I realized how little they had, yet they were so happy. Another man and his wife that came were very nice. He was very happy and tried to help in whatever way he could.
Most of the staff was polite to me and they seemed to have good senses of humor, especially my main man, didn't catch his name but he was a good laugh.
