Carts full of packaged food were bustled in from the warehouse into the sorting room. Assembly lines sprung up spontaneously, with hands flying everywhere to take a task. Boxes were unfurled, snacks were separated from crackers and boxes were filled to the brim, labeled and stacked. In the span of 30 seconds, five boxes of food were ready to go. The carts kept coming.
Some of the food bins were so deep, an average-sized person’s arms couldn’t reach the bottom. Fortunately, there were 13 extra sets of over-sized limbs in the building to snag the loose extras. On Tuesday afternoon the Thunder’s players, coaches and the organization’s entire staff spent the afternoon at the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma to prepare food for distribution.
