I had a wonderful time assisting in curbside pick up of food for families of the community. We also assisted in creating future appointments to pick up food. All in all, my experience at the Atlanta Community Food Bank was wonderful and I definitely plan on returning!
While at the Atlanta Community Food Bank in the Community Food Center Packing & DIstribution, I enjoyed shopping for the Atlanta community and taking their groceries to the car. It gave me a sense of inspiration and joy because I loved picking the various food options and putting them in their boxes. It made me feel like I was their shopper, and I liked how I made it convenient for them to get their groceries, especially since some of them were elderly.
I had a fantastic time at Atlanta Community Food Bank. In my hometown of Dallas, I had become extremely immersed in the food bank network that serviced the community, and it was so refreshing to find such a robust system here as well. As I sorted food items alongside my peers, I felt reconnected to the work I always felt was important. Though this session was a 'behind the scenes' extension of the totality of service that ACFB provides for those in need, I could feel that my impact was just the beginning of a positive change in someone's life. I look forward to volunteering with this organization again soon!
I had a great experience. Everyone there were very encouraging and made service fun.
Today I felt so honored to be able to feed and help families through packaged goods. There where different stations; and at the station I was at, I helped verify food labels and packaging. This was an overall amazing experience , and im very glad I chose to volunteer here!
