Saturday, May 12 my group and I volunteered at the LA food bank for our volunteer service project and I must say I was very surprised at how many people showed up. This was my first time ever being at a food bank and I had no idea what to expect. The introduction video for the volunteers was very touching and almost made me shed a couple of tears because I know the feeling of not having nothing to eat at home. Seeing families struggle is so painful to see and seeing the children make choices like drinking alot of water to get full so they would not be hungry is very sad. After that video I felt like I had a purpose there and God really got us there early that morning to fulfill it. What is so great about about the food bank is that it is a team effort and the job will not get done with only twenty people. Everyone on site had a job to fulfill and with the grace of God each one was completed by the end of our time. I recommend anyone and everyone to take the time out of your busy schedules to volunteer to be apart of this. I am not going to tell you exactly what we did, instead I challenge you to go and find out yourself!
