| FlexForce Bags Filled With Food |
Sometimes, my mother can be very ambiguous in her descriptions. She’ll say things like “Paint it a colorful color” while helping me pick out paint, or “Just take a little sugar and some butter…” when making cookies, or “The pantry gives out bags of food.” In my mind’s eye I pictured a brown grocery bag filled to the top with canned goods and microwaveable meals. I never expected to walk in and see boxes and boxes of 120 count GLAD ForceFlex 18 gallon garbage bags filled with nutritious fresh foods. Who would’ve known? GLAD is helping to save the world one bag at a time. Well maybe not the whole world, but at least Detroit is getting some support from the red and white clad hero.

| They Come For The Food |
Three hundred fifty six 18 gallon bags were individually filled with foods such as fresh chicken, yogurt, bread and cereal and then lovingly passed out to the community with a smile. My task was simple; I divided the life saving bags and doubled them up to make sure they wouldn’t burst when filled with two weeks of food for a family a four. Once the bags were filled, other volunteers brought them to the front of the pantry to be handed out. As I looked at all the food being packaged into each bag, I couldn't help but think of the number of broken bags BGE (Before GLAD Era). With 18,000 – 24,000 people being serviced in the community every year, I thought “where would Batman be without Robin?" Today, the pantry has plans to expand its service area once again in order to feed even more people and ForceFlex has agreed to come with the pantry. Like any real hero, the bags plan to assist its faithful sidekick every step of the way, even if the Twelfth Street Food Pantry outshines the superhuman powers of GLAD’s ForceFlex 18 gallon garbage bags.
