It didn't take me too long to come up with who I wanted to profile for the next paper. I chose Sue Figurski, the Macomb County Food Pantry coordinator.
The food pantry program is basically a state government run organization that provides canned / boxed food to the poor and homeless, mainly via churches. Churches come to the county pantry and receive the food to distribute.
I've been involved with helping this program a few times in the past, usually when they need help. My mom is the one who is active in the program, so I managed to set things up with Sue through her. Whenever I went, it was on packing day where all 50 some churches arrive with trucks and we have to load 30,000-50,000 pounds of food for them to take out and deliver.
I've already interviewed her Friday afternoon, so now I just need to begin typing...
