Like Grant said you really don't need to bring food if you come over to play board games with us. You'll have to let us know if your friends want to come as well so I can make sure we have enough refreshments in the apartment.
He forgot to mention we have a giant dog who thinks he's a lap dog but I'm guessing that won't be a problem seeing as you're talking about volunteering at the shelter. He's a giant softie and loves meeting new people but most people are put off by his size, Bear that is not Grant.
