Today, February 23rd, 2022, marks my first ever volunteering experience.
A few weeks prior to this date, my brother has been volunteering at “Food Lifeline”, which is a nonprofit organization which allows people of all ages to volunteer and assist them with achieving the goal of donating food to food banks. My brother, Max, had been volunteering numerous days, 2 hours per visit, which sparked curiosity in me.
At Food Lifeline, I met a plethora of kind people ranging from ages 14 to up to 50. It was a genuinely fun experiencing that involved teamwork, with the purpose of putting a stop to hunger. I learned a lot of new skills there, along with a subtle workout-transporting 20-30 pound boxes! Despite this being my first time, I found this experience really fun and plan on continuing it more in the future.
