Food Bank

When I volunteered at the food bank open house on Saturday it was a very moving day for me. I was fortunate enough to see what the food bank volunteers actually do every week and it was great to see them get honoured and get recognised for everything that they do. While I was there I got to experience what it's like to resupply the food and beverages. I also got to mingle with regular food bank volunteers. We talked a lot about what they actually do in terms of helping others. I won't forget what one regular volunteer said to me "I don't even do anything, this is all based on you, we wouldn't have the privilege to do this without you" What she said to me I couldn't get it out of my head, it didn't occur to me as much as it did that one moment she looked at me and said "thank you" For all these years I've been taking advantage of what others fight for each day, proper food, shelter and even family. This was a very memorable and well worth Saturday spent for me. If I have the chance I would definitely volunteer here again.
