"I know without your financial contribution, TIPS would be unable to hire interns, and if it were not for the pay I wouldn't have spent my summer at the food bank. You see my family is by definition "severely low income". I had to get a "real" job this summer simply to help pay for my own family's housing, transportation, and yes food. We were formally regulars at a food bank, and that food bank still helps us get by every now and then. My summer with Northwest Harvest has meant so much to me because I have been a client at a food bank, receiving handouts from volunteers. It was wonderful to feel like I was helping people the way others have helped me." –2004 intern
