Volunteers of the Week

One of my new year's resolutions was to be involved in things other than myself and I was looking for an organization that makes an impact in the community. I was interested in the hunger relief because to me, that is the most basic needs and it's so easy for anybody to help out in that cause. It was after coming here that I realize that the program is so much more than feeding the homeless and the hungry. It helps people who want to get out of their current conditions and aspire to something more than the immediate meal and to have a better life. What I do as a volunteer is so little and so easy in comparison to what the food on foot crew does. In many ways I don't feel that I have earned the volunteer of the week title.


What I like most about volunteering, besides the living evidence that the program works, is hearing and seeing how the program has changed people's lives. Hearing the success stories is absolutely moving.
