Delegates take time to help the needy

DENVER -- A few dozen of Washington state's delegates spent this morning giving back to the community before heading over to the Pepsi Center to cast their votes to nominate Illinois Senator Barack Obama for president.

In an event organized by Democrats Work, a Seattle-based community service organization, Metro Volunteers and Volunteers of America, and the Democratic National Convention Committee, the Washington delegates met up with their colleagues from across the country to sort boxes of food for Meals on Wheels.

Included among the volunteers was Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels.
