I had a great time, I was able to organize food for their gift bags and clean up around the warehouse.

We separated food that was given by Simple Gesture. Restock clothes in the market and van to go to another location. Then lastly, we made backpack care packages for kids/teens that included hygiene products, toys, writing utensils, etc. Overall I had so much fun and loved my time.

We started the clean up process before planting today. Got to learn about the compost and how to drive the cart also.

Today was great as got to make Family Packs which is like goodie bags full of food like pasta, rice, canned food, etc.

I enjoyed the effort the organization put in and how everybody was given a job. Even if it was small task it still mattered. I hanged clothes, organized market shelves, and organized food items in the back of the warehouse.

I would volunteer first with breakfast where we either serve or clean after people who ate. I then volunteered after Weekday Breakfast to Weekday prep, where prepared lunches for the next group of homeless people in the afternoon. And one of my times doesn’t show on the site but worked a weekday breakfast on Dec 12 also. They had me stay longer which messed up the system a bit. But Weekday breakfast is 2.5 Hours each while Weekday Prep is 3 Hours. I did two breakfast slots with three weekday prep slots which should equal to 14 hours in total.

We got to pick flowers for bouquets.
