But by a drive through food pantry in southern California. Each car is met by volunteers who plays bundles of fresh produce and two weeks worth of groceries in the trunk, all for free. This is the Seva Collective food pantry in Santa Ana, California. Bandana Singh is one of the co founders and said, when we first started, we were driving to La Downtown food market. We were driving to central California to pick up citrus. We were kind of all over the place. Four million meals later. Their goals to get fresh food as well as shelf stable food to every family's car or car who comes through the drive. We have cars line up as early as three or four in the morning.

1:32 We don't start the drive until nine thirty am. So to us as the volunteer team, it tells us the need is there and we want to do whatever we can. A twenty one year old is helping the elderly and senior homes stay fit with boxing lessons. Bailly says, sport and exercise cheer people up. We make jokes and we have a laugh with them every day. Bailly now takes his fitness classes into twenty to thirty different daycare homes, guiding residents through one hour sessions from simple boxing drills to hand eye coordination games. Each resident gets to wear boxing gloves that are neon pink, yellow and green BA able to share this tidbit get ready for this one. One of the care homes recorded a video saying how much they enjoyed the session, and one woman said how much he loves my legs. Good news for a volunteer fire department. They'd been using equipment from the nineteen eighties. They just received a half million dollar gift from a local resident. Fire chief Mark Harden said the fire department needed a lot of work. Not many of the trucks were in operation, not many of them ran, only one was running. A ninety one year old resident, Sam Sloan, donated half a million dollars. The chief said, never in a million years what I have expected anything like this for a rural fire department. In March, at the end of our first quarter, we had one hundred and sixty nine dollars left in our bank account.

2:45 The money's going to allow them to buy three new fire engines and new equipment for all the volunteers. The existing gears, such as coats, hard hats and other tools were almost all from the eighties and nineties, and this one out of the UK made me laugh. A McDonald's fan ordered a triple cheeseburger with everything removed. A man was annoyed that the local McDonald's kept getting the order wrong. He thought it had made a crystal clear for them, so he decided to test this out. He was wondering if they would get this order right, joking that they usually mess up. He was convinced they would not be able to properly put together a triple cheeseburger with everything removed. This was his order, triple cheeseburger, no ketchup, no pickle, no dice, onions, no beef, no mustard, no regular bun, no American cheese, no salt. That order still cost five dollars and forty nine cents. The service fee was three dollars. The tax is forty two cents.

3:36 Greg tipped a delivery driver eleven dollars all together, and the order came to almost twenty dollars. So what showed up a wrapper and a mccrispy box, He said, I ordered a triple burger, not a mccrispy. Somehow they still managed to screw up my order. Those are your five good news stories for today.
