Saturday in Pictures: Bayou Vista

Kate and Chronicle contributor Dacia join Mobile Loaves & Fishes for another relief trip to the coast. Here are pictures from the first day.

On Saturday, we joined Mobile Loaves & Fishes as they set up shop to feed the folks of Bayou Vista. Dacia and I got out into the neighborhoods on one of the catering trucks handing out sandwiches, cold drinks, and needed provisions. Click the gallery to see the Saturday's pictures and read the captions that tell the story of the day.
