Today I volunteered at the Open Hand Atlanta about five miles from the Georgia State campus. I volunteered from 1 pm to 4 pm. The Open Hand Atlanta is an organization that packages and delivers food to people in need around the greater Atlanta area. Their mission is to grow the organization to help more people and make a big impact on the health of our community. The organization allows for people of all walks of life to come together to touch the lives of thousands of others not as fortunate as them.
At the Open Hand organization today, I helped package the meals. It was a good experience that opened my eyes to the realities of the lives of the less fortunate. I was also able to meet and talk to a lot of new people. Overall it was a very eye-opening experience and I would love to go back soon.
