Food drive/Food bank

For the food drive we had to do class visits and speak to classes to inform them about the holiday food drive. I am proud of my accomplishments because I was able to speak without  a paper and speak loudly enough so that everyone was able to hear what I was saying. As for the food bank it was a great learning experience as well as a hands on volunteer  opportunity . We didn't get to sit at all while at the food bank there was always something to do. We were mainly in charge of  organizing and handing out food and  me and Amrit got the opportunity to make popcorn with an actual popcorn machine which was a lot of fun.  There were other volunteers who got recognition through the open house and everyone was able to show their gratitude towards the volunteers . We also got a chance to take a picture with Santa . Overall the food bank was a great experience and I'm glad I went through with it . What made it even more enjoyable were the people that were there with me and it was a great way to be able to volunteer and help honour those who regulary work/volunteer at the food bank as well as get an idea about how the food bank actually works be seeing it in person.

  1. I completely agree, the food bank open house was a very meaningful experience for me too. It was such a fun way to spend my Saturday, and I'm glad you had fun too.
