Food Assistance Warehouse

On the first day of winter break, I volunteered with TAGS at Food Assistance Warehouse. The organization collects donations of food and distributes it to elderly people in the community for whom it may be difficult stay fully supplied and nourished. I organized the pallets of food and helped back the bags for the January distribution.

Overall, although the work was a little dull, I thought it was significant to be helping the elderly. That is a demographic that is often overlooked when it comes to outreach and a fairly large percentage of elderly live below the poverty line. Sometimes I think that we as a society can become so focused on a single problem that we forget the other ones that may exist.
