Purpose
As students, we all face different financial situations. Some are financially stable, while most of us juggle school and jobs just to make ends meet. I have been in a difficult financial situation myself and was fortunate enough to learn about the Family Crisis Center food bank.
After using the food bank service for almost a semester, I decided to become a volunteer at the Family Crisis Center to give back to the community.
Senior Project Summary
I have volunteered twice a week at the Family Crisis Center—Wednesdays at the food bank and Fridays at the thrift store. I was blessed to meet the most humble people and learned to be grateful for the small things we have. I decided to promote the food bank because of the good they do in the community.
I had the opportunity to go on a drive with the food bank driver and speak with two individuals who use the service, listening to their experiences.
Finally, I created flyers for the food bank to be delivered to local restaurants. Many restaurants were excited to contribute to the cause by donating food to help those in need. Here is a list of restaurants that took the food donation flyers and expressed their willingness to help whenever possible.
