This past week I focused on my service project which was volunteering at Loaves & Fishes. This place is located behind Sacred Heart Catholic Church in an old house. This is open for those who are low income families only and are allowed to come here once per month. In addition, everyone is a volunteer; all food is donated from food bank or grocery stores, and any supplies or items needed are purchased out of own pocket.
Staging the crates to put food in for famlies
Storing some of the food inside the house
I worked outside loading the crates with food and resupplying the shelves with more food. We would have six families at a time in the back with the food. After they had the opportunity to go through the items they could leave items behind or give to their neighbor. I would help load the food into their car and then I would take the shopping cart to the back and reload cart with food and get everything ready for the next six families.
