On Saturday April 11th, Thomas Dale students visited the Virginia Food Bank. I had the pleasure of interviewing two students after their visit. The first student, Sydney Vonada, immediately told me, “I had a lot of fun”. During our interview she also mentioned she learned the history of the location of the Virginia Food Bank. It turns out, the warehouse that stores the food used to be a tobacco warehouse, and it is over 100 years old! Sydney described the warehouse containing shelves of wrapped food, as big as crates. The building itself had many volunteers and scales that weighed the food. She finally mentioned that one dollar could buy five meals.
