Steinbeck and Ricketts would love this-keep up the good work Western Flyer Foundation!
I would agree with you. Thanks for Watching.
Ok, I watch all this as a European. But I have to say: now I start to understand your project. And I believe it very much is something the United States need at this point in time! I wish you all the best of luck and a fantastic future!
Thank you.
Outstanding, supporting your local community, love it!
Thank you.
It is always such a delight to read or listen to Dr. Shillinglaw discussing Steinbeck. Anyone interested in understanding Steinbeck's life and art should read her exhaustive works on the subject.
Fantastic!! Steinbeck would be proud of everyone involved.
Thank You.
Excellent and exceptional program that affirms the fundamental principles upon which our nation is founded. Thanks for reminding me of these core values based in community and confirmed by compassionate concern for all who struggle during these difficult times. Well done to all!
Our pleasure. Thank you for your support.
Great work guys, great episode
Thank you for what you are doing. It’s admirable 🏁
Thanks for Watching.
Very cool to see your organization step up like that.
Thank you.
My already overwhelming respect for this, just deepened immensely! Thank you!
You really walk the walk! Such a great example for us all to follow. Thank you!
Thanks for Watching.
Great story Chris thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it
The need is so great. Thanks for shining a light. Take care and stay well :-)
You are so welcome
I wish I could see the boat while it is being worked in! Thank you for the videos and Community work the foundation is doing! Keep up the great work!!!
Thank you for the kind words, and Thank you for Watching.
Awesome work. Inspiring and touching.
Thanks, Kevin.
Well done.
I am a Croatian living in USA. When you go to Croatia, you can still see a boat load of vessels like Western Flyers. I would not call it a “Croatian style” but it has been certainly a type of vessels boat builders were familiar to build.
Thanks on many levels
So fantastic people there and ain't Perrin great, see the old Sprinter van slogging about there Chris mind you keep the parking brake shoes well adjusted on that, cheers for now looking forward to seeing some of the fit out soon on the Flyer.
Great effort on providing 800 meals. Sorry couldn't help but notice the brand new red F150 that enjoyed your efforts. It's perfectly ok for people to enjoy the food but if you have resources you should make a cash donation to help continue the effort. Keep up the good work. Those truly in need appreciate your efforts.
Great job guys and great video
Thank you.
Great job guys!
Thank you.
I just saw an ad saying Arion Press out of SF is issuing a special edition of Steinbeck and Ricket's Sea of Cortez in the fall. Great channel BTW.
Cool piece!
Good karma generates more good karma. Bravo. Steinbeck would have approved.
Thanks, Charlie you are always so supported. Thanks again for Watching.
Outstanding....Thanks very much....!
Thanks.
The true measure to anyone's success it what they can give away without any expectation of return.
Thank you for your kind words. Thanks for Watching.
Geez... what can I say.. this stirred my emotions.. made me realize it is time I gave back too.. I have had a blessed life.. Good friends and family, plenty of work.. But now I am 68 and even though I have always been one to lend a hand or one that you can count on to help.. they have always come to me.. it is time I went to them.. What a great foundation you have there.. Thanks for stirring the thoughts in me you have.. carry on!
You are so welcome. Thank you for Watching.
Great work!!
Thanks a lot!
The average vehicle pulling up to get free food was forty five to sixty thousand dollars, I'm trying to wrap my head around that.
I was going to say the same thing. This bothers me so much. Maybe if people didn’t think they needed a brand new pickup they could afford to feed their kids
Good on you for using paper packaging rather than styrofoam or plastic!
👍 beautiful
Thank you for your kind words. And Thank you for Watching.
People tipping up in brand new four by fours for free food ? Something wrong there, sureley ?
Wonderfully
Thanks for Watching.

I don’t want to be one of those negative people but the cars pulling up to the free meals were late model cars and suvs how can someone driving a 40,000 vehicle be in need of a hand out?
And now I feel like having some artichokes for dinner.
Steamed for 10 minutes, then cut in half and grilled for 5 minutes. Thanks for Watching.
@@WesternFlyerFoundationChannel Drizzle with olive oil, maybe a little garlic too, pre grill. Yum.
I’m getting to be a big fan of these guys TH-cam is full of people who should be working and contributing but instead are putting up Go Fund Me pages for boat engines or a new pickup truck Instead we have a non monetized channel that seems to ask nothing but contribute to the community
I am shocked to see people coming for food aid with such big vans
While it's true the current pandemic doesn't "choose" poor or wealthy people, the apparent democracy of the situation ends there. It is no secret the poor are suffering much more as result of COVID-19. And this is true for all aspects of their lives. Their livelihoods, their homes, their healthcare or lack of it are all at much greater risk than that of the wealthy. The poor don't get to phone it in. You can't pick lettuce remotely. To say that the current pandemic affects everyone tends to suggest everyone is suffering equally and glosses over the reality on the ground like so much marine varnish.
I love and support migrant workers. As long as they're documented and here legally. They should be afforded the support that the national security of food production deserves.
Your charity is a big bag of B..S if "the needy ones" are driving a Cadillac (10:34)
Think this was a good thing you have done, but it does show a weakness in our economic model. Where is the right balance between people and money?
All those in the queue can afford to run recent vehicles, including 4x4s, and, they can't feed themselves?
I don't believe it.
Perhaps, if they chose to burn a bit of their excess body fat off, by walking, for instance, instead of burning gasoline, they might be able to stand on their own two feet.

The history is amazing but I'm a craft's guy. There's not much chance to see a wooden boat of this size be restored. Little lacking.
Hey, thanks for Watching. If you're looking for more wooden boat stuff take a look back at some of my earlier episodes.
It will be sad to see her leave PNW waters where she was built, and rebuilt.
She'll be back. Her connection to the NW runs deep. Thanks for Watching.
Migrants are hard workers, great Video
Thanks for Watching.
Sad to see, but only in Kali do the "poor people" drive up in their Caddy Escalades for the free food giveaways. Do these freeloaders have no shame?
NO knock on what WFF is doing (at all), but sure is hard donating my hard-earned $$ to feed all those "poor people" lined up in their new cars and such.
I'm in awe of your generosity. Thank you for your time and service to provide food and hope in a world that can be so selfish at times. Your kindness and positivity are uplifting.
Such a meaningful video and purpose for the project. I bet the people there are very appreciative of the food and education they are able to receive. This is so important, especially now during these trying times. I know that if I lived there I would volunteer as well.
Thank you for your kind words. And Thank you for Watching.

Thank you for that reminder. While I was in Castroville, several of us started talking about how we had recently re-read Grapes of Wrath and how it's just as powerful of a book today as in 1939, history keeps repeating. "I'll be there."
Thank you for all you do in the social, educational and practical spheres. May I ask how this is funded? Bless you, yours and all involved in this wonderful project.
It really is excellent to be able to see where this is all going and what the foundations plans are, very inspiring !!!! You are all very awesome, and for someone who was not at ease with filming I must say you are a man of many talents!!! Congrats!
Thank you so much! And Thank you for Watching.
8:40 WTF this guys driving a $50,000 truck and needs free food. Seems a little sus.
I encourage everyone subscribed to this channel to make a donation to help with this noble cause
Well done guys!!!
Thank you and thanks for watching.
They own forty thousand dollar trucks and show up for a handout.
Dang! I want a taco now!
Me too! From that wonderful lady at the end of the video!!!
Nice to see when some have more than other's that the some enjoy giving back!
I agree, Thanks for Watching.
One meal? OK. Nice gesture.
