This was not your normal F3 CSAUP. This CSAUP included all three Fs and was COMPLETELY SELFLESS AND ULTIMATELY PLEASING! Not to mention a bonus POINT for all who rucked and donated food.
12 HIM assembled at The Fighting Yank ready to go at 0545. A quick disclaimer was muttered even though nobody was paying attention cuz all eyes were on Whoopees wheelbarrow. The guys knew the drill. Ruck to Harris Teeter. Raid the shelves. Pay and pack up for a return trip in 60 minutes or less. Enough chatter lets go!
Lots of laughter and talk along the way with a squeak or two coming from our trusty ole wheelbarrow.
With Teeter curbside parking wide open at 0605 the wheelbarrow was left to wonder just how much food she would be wheeling back to the Yank. Twelve rucks exited the store overflowing with food donations and ultimately filling the wheelbarrow to the top. A quick picture for the history book and we were headed back to the Yank.
With 10 minutes to go until bootcamp we had YHCs truck half filled with food, and it kept coming.
Honorable mentions go to the guys who sent over cash donations (Pallbearer & Balljoint); those dollars were converted into canned goods. Those that rucked their food days earlier as their schedule allowed (Pinto); and those who added food donations to truck before bootcamp as YHC was trying to get ready to Q. (Tooth Fairy, Fannie Mae, Norwood, and most likely there were more that YHC didn’t see.) Sorry. Please speak up and YHC will edit.
This was a fun CSAUP to start our morning and all for a worthy cause. We estimate F3 donated 450-500 lbs. of food to Peace Hope and Love in Gastonia. Eh Yall, Tooth Fairy and YHC delivered these goods Saturday morning. Trust us when we say they will use everything we delivered. The PH&L staff were very happy with our blessing!
Thank you all! & Til next time!
