One of the workers, Vladimir Machado, has packed up fresh food for hungry people for over a decade and tells KPIX his service because he was once a hungry kid growing up not far from the food bank.

"I remember being a kid not knowing next meal, not knowing where my parents were as they worked three jobs. I remember being the kid going to the church for a free sandwich and a juice box and I remember learning how to survive in this crazy world. That's why I come back to give back. I was once like the people I help."
