Hi. How are you . V. P. Elect harris how are you . Good to see you, jose. Are you . Hi, everybody. Happy thanksgiving. Happy thanksgiving. Thank you so much for coming down. We are honored and touched beyond belief that youd choose us as one of your first corporations coming down here and we hope some of the work that we do will inspire the work that this administration does. It is interesting. Right now during covid we have been focused on food. Were doing crazy amounts of food. 2. 5 million moods. Fresh groceries that we have sent out through the sfism this is economically affecting the world community. What we have always been about s much more than food. It is mend to strengthen bodies, empower minds and build communities. We have wanted to put ourselves out of the business of giving away food and training men and women. One of the things, Vice President , elect is the Silver Linings of these dark clouds that we have seen is more people are understanding of and willing to listen to the message and the n we the what we do is poverty. That is caused by Structural Racism and systemic inequalities that have existed in this country for years and that is the work that we want to do to create opportunities and some of those opportunities are represented by these beautiful men and women behind me. Our staff now is 180 folks. 57 of those are on a job training program. They are now working with living wage jobs and living Wage Benefits and setting examples possible for Business Community around the country. We are grateful to share some of that work with you and we look forward to working with you in any way possible for the next eight years and then maybe the next eight years after that. V. P. Elect harris lets just get through thanksgiving. [laughter] mike, i want to thank you. We had this conversation over the last couple of years at least and you have invited doug and me to come and see it and all the work that you doing around the globe. But it is good to be with you. Were looking at national testimonies and to all of the leaders. Thank you all. Thank you all. [applause] it is so wonderful what you are doing. Ive been hearing about your work and your leadership and your courage and the gift that you are giving and the community and our country. So i wanted to come by in the season of thanksgiving to thank you all also. You guys are on the front line. You on the front line. And youre role models. Youre showing what can be done. Right . Youre showing the power of lifting other people up. You measure the strength of any human being. The measured strength. The muscle. The measure of strength is based on who you lift 7perfect thats the measure of who you lift up. And you all know that. What were doing now, right now in our country, one in six families are describing their children as hungry. One in five, the last number i saw cant pay their rent. One in three children in this city. V. P. Elect harris i know that. And so you know, it is also in the midst of covid, were all wearing our masks. We have to social distance. We cant show our full faces. We have to try and smile with our eyes. Right . People are feeling alone. So many people are feeling alone. And on top of being food insecure and doing what you all are doing reminds people they are not alone. That is a great gift that you give as well. Doug and i wanted to come by just to thank you all. Everybody, for what youre doing. And for lifting everybody up. [applause] i have actually known this guy well over a decade. His name is sparky. V. P. Elect harris name is sparky. One of the best people i know. Thank you for everything you are doing. Youre the best. Thank you for what youre doing and what youre all doing. Travel the country. Issue security was a big i saw when i traveled all over the country. I saw the food lines. I went to the facilities around the country. This is definitely one of the things im going to be passionate about going forward. We need you. We need all the help. I know youre with me right there. A 23yearold boy volunteering here. I did everything. Peeling potatoes. Learning from people that were exconvicts, that came from the streets. Hen i became chairman. Told me the charity seems to the redemption to have giver. A charity should be the of the veever. Get that of the receiver. The many people around america and e world right now, covid, stepping up. Bringing a bit of food and showing hope. V. P. Elect harris you see this thing. Ill add to the charity theme. Here is how i think about charity. It is the difference between charity and duty. Charity, i got a little extra. Ill help you out. Vs. Duty. Duty to your fellow human being. You guys know that. Right . Its what we all should understand is the price that pay for living on this earth. That we have a duty and you guys know that. Im preaching to the choir. You guys could be at home right now cooking for yourselves and your own families. But youre here, out of a sense of duty to the community and to other people and especially people who right now are in need. Thats an incredible thing youre doing. An incredible gift youre giving. It has been an incredible gift for me these last eight months to be able to come and work with these folks every day. Coming in, 12,000, 10,000 meals and everyone is wringing hands and hanging heads. This is an important job. We have to do it. The way they have done this work is stunning. It is inspirational. Ive been here 16 years. I wouldnt say this has been the best year but in a lot of ways it has. We cant wait to show off what we have learned in a better way and take off our mask and really show you around. Were going to move into a new space at the end of next year or year after. 36,000 beautiful square feet and were going to become a food hub for sustainability, jobs, opportunity, innovation. We cant wait for you to be part of that as well. V. P. Elect harris i look forward to it. I look forward to it. Well, on behalf of all the people that you all inspire, i thank you, i thank you, i thank you. Ad you know, we like to visit bakery run by former veterans. People who have served.

Does that include leader mcconnell . V. P. Elect harris i cant speak directly to that but i will tell you it has been the priority for the president elect and me from the beginning that we intend to and will work across the aisle to deal with the issues that are affecting people regardless of who they voted for in the election. The president elect and i take that very seriously and im here to talk with folks who are feeding the hungry. You may have heard me say one in six families in america is describing their children as being hungry. One in five are describing an inability to pay rent. These are real issues. The folks who we are talking about, whoever they voted for deserve to have leadership that sees them through the lens of the light they are living regardless of party affiliation. We feel very strongly about that. Have you talked with Vice President pence . We love you, kamla thank you thank you hey, peter, can we go over there . Thank you.
