Community Service Narritve

            For my community service project I volunteered at a warehouse, food donating, ghetto neighborhood place, called St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance. For the majority of my hours I unpacked hundreds of pounds of food varying from apples to zucchinis. This must the most laborious part of the job and the least interactive with the actual needy citizens of the neighborhood, but being underhanded most of the time they needed as much help as they could getting all the food situated and ready to be brought out to the people in need. For the other part of my community service hours I was taking the actual shopping carts of food out to the needy people and following them to wherever they were either parked (with about 7 people in a 5 person car) or just out to where they shoved it all in a backpack and just left. It was a very exhausting running back and forth between taking food to the needy people and going back to unpack the food or even help clean the place up so no one would hurt themselves and so it wouldn’t start to stink; since every now and then there was some very horrible stenches that come from the bad food needed to be thrown out or half of the volunteers would have shown us their lunches in liquid form. At the end of the day I felt good knowing that these people were getting something to eat that is decently edible instead of begging and looking through trashcans.
