and Solano. The people in charge explained me that usually people went there to work in groups, however for community service I've always felt like it is easier to focus and that way you can do it according to your own schedule.
This food bank is basically a huge warehouse, people often collect food and bring it to the place so that the volunteers can organize it and distribute it to the needy. It is amazing to see how people make huge contributions to this kind of organizations because they are the ones who keep them alive, but at the same time it is kind of sad to realize how some people in America don't have any food.
I had different tasks at the food bank such as packing food, taping and moving boxes, organizing the food people donated, etc. Even though my community service doesn't really affect peoples lives directly, I feel good about what I did because I contributed for a good cause which is reducing hunger.
The world has different opinions on poverty and what should be done about it. Some people care, some others don't. But in the end what counts is that you follow your principles and you do what you think is best to help.
