On June 12, 2010 I went(along with my mom) to an event that was hosted by Community Action Partnership. At this warehouse location we met with a small group and were assigned our task of packaging food into boxes. These boxes of food would eventually be given to families in need of food to survive. We all worked on keeping our spirits high and having fun meeting new people we completed our task with ease. Throughout the 2 hours that we were there, we packed 1200 boxes of food that would be given to families who were in desperate need of this food. This event was so much fun because I got to meet so many new people and have a great time while helping people that needed our assistance. I would definitely encourage anyone who wants to get involved in volunteering to start with an event like a food bank because it is simple and fun, but also rewarding because you can somewhat see the effects of your work when you're finished for the day.
