After hearing about the long distances the women who participate in the Supplemental Food Program had to travel up narrow mountain paths to get home with a baby under one arm and several items of food under the other, Helen Robertson from Minnesota, and several of her friends began making cloth shopping bags with a shoulder strap for them to make it easier for them to carry their bundles. I had already given out all my extra pillowcases for this purpose, but there were not enough to go around. I heard they have made many of these colorful cloth shopping bags. The journey home will be much easier for the women with these bags. Helen has walked with me a few times up the mountain herself carrying a load, so she knows firsthand what it is like! There are times you even have to walk through knee deep mud!
