Post Call to Action Day
After waking up early and spending
time helping out the Ecumenical Hunger Program I am pretty tired but content at
the same time. First of all, I am really glad that although I had to wake up
really early, I was able to do a lot of useful work. What we did over there was
quite simple because the organizer was giving us instructions on what we should
do. I started taking the rice bags and moving them to other places in the building.
Then I would separate the white rice and brown rice and put them in boxes for
families to take home. Next I went over the place where all the refrigerated
items are stored and helped organize milk and eggs in a way that all of them
would fit on the selves. After that I helped take out all the cardboard boxes
and throw them in the recycling bin. I ended my time there by packing boxes
with food so that families that come could just take the box with food. Although
I was slightly disappointed I didn’t get to directly help assist the less
fortunate, I know that they would be happy when they received their boxes
because I worked hard to ensure that every box had two of everything. Although I
didn’t find out about the finances, I found out that the place runs of the
goodness of volunteers who package and distribute all the boxes. On the way home,
my friends told me they didn’t enjoy the trip that much but I had always wanted
to do something like this so that is why we have differing ideas.
