I have lived in Falmouth for about 10 years. I had moved several times before finding Falmouth   1 setting in one place for a long time. My favorite experience of Falmouth was when I    2 to deliver Thanksgiving dinner to families or individuals unable to drive or suffering from illness. It was (a)n    3 experience.

Volunteers checked in lined up and followed the    4 given. There were many people working. How they manage all of this is quite amazing. The    5 of such an event is inspiring.

The best part of the day was delivering the food to homes.    6 they had enough drivers and no assignment for us.    7 the gentleman in front of us checking in had six meals to deliver. So my husband and I    8 him offering to help him fill his box and take the meals to his car. He was    9 and we began our task. When he was    10 to deliver his quota(配额，限额) he handed us one of the delivery cards saying “Since this is your first time I want you to be able to feel the    11 that comes from meeting the people.” I    12 that I was somewhat nervous at this first    13 . Who knows what I might find behind a stranger’s door.

We rang the doorbell and were met by an extremely    14 man. He asked us inside and from the hallway I could see the silver    15 of a walker approaching. We saw a little old lady. She expressed deep gratitude for the delivery.    16 she had been diagnosed with cancer she has had trouble getting out. She could not have been any more gracious and handed me a beautiful scarf she had made and an envelope of    17 to the homeless. Can you imagine? Cancer unable to get out to gather dinner and she still    18 such deep gratitude. We    19 but not before we hugged goodbye. The gentleman that was kind enough to give us one of his deliveries was    20 . This was the best part.
