1-2-3 Done! Revisited

On July 10 this diary shared the story of our involvement in shipping a trailer of food and grocery items to Postville, Iowa where many former immigrant workers from the Agriprocessors plant remain while awaiting trial or deportation. A press release about the joint effort to get this food to Iowa was prepared and to our great surprise picked up by the JTA (Jewish Telegraph Agency). We have already received several calls from people who saw the article and want to help. We are in the process of investigating further ways that we might be able to offer support to the workers and those who have taken on the responsibility of helping them. We will share our plans as they materialize. What follows is a link to the JTA article:
