Bob.Mack@jacksonville.com -- 10/20/11 --  Volunteers Nicholas Jones (L) and Donna Pagliara (R) pull cans of food from bins to be placed in family boxes.  Volunteer Ashley Eichner (background,C) works in the background. In recent weeks, thousands of potatoes arrived at Second Harvest North Florida in containers so large they required a backhoe to deliver to the warehouse. Volunteers had to divvy all the potatoes into small bags. Also, 17,000 mystery cans arrived that were labeled with only a number. Volunteers had to find the number on a list and re-label each can identifying the actual food it contained. The food bank counts on its 1,000 volunteers, who give 10,000 hours a year. Three volunteers will be working with those potatoes or cans at the time of our visit. Volunteers were photographed at the food bank  on Thursday October 20, 2011.
