Here's how we're taking action in our community:
I would go to food bank and help out food on the shelves, help re-organize things, and just talk to the people there. I also put a bin out at my old elementary school and collected for there. I then brought it to the food bank and helped put it on the shelves!
Here's how we got the idea:
I got the idea because my parents like to bring me to food banks and I have been going since i was really young so now its a semi-regular thing I do.
These are the steps we took:
1. I made a poster asking for food.
2. I picked up the food periodically
3. I brought it to the food bank
4. I volunteered
Here are some of the results:
I made lots of people smile, I collected 110 pounds of food or the food bank
These are the people who volunteered with me:
My friends, My family
One of the coolest things that happened during my project was:
I got to have a conversation with a man and I learned some really cool things that I never would have even thought about. I also love getting to go into the HUGE freezer there! Its walk-in!!!
One of the most important things I learned was:
Toothpaste is expensive for someone who has to go to the food bank and I also learned that 1 in every 6 americans are hungry after a meal.
