Food on Foot is a way for me to spend my time being productive and an outlet for me to give back even if it's just an hour of my time.
I like that it's just not about giving food and sending them on their way that it's a program that offers rehabilitation to those who want/need the help.
A memorable event was my last serving. It was on the same day as the LA Marathon and part of me really wanted to bow out of the serving. The thought of traffic and the crowd was very discouraging but I knew that it would be very irresponsible of me to do that so I got motivated and made it there. I was really glad I did because there were quite a few volunteers that didn't show up and we were short handed. Short as we were, we managed to get everyone fed and on their way. Being there made me realize how much these people counted on me to show up, even if it was just to pass out some chicken and say hello or have a good day. It made me realize how important the volunteers and contributions are in this organization, that my money/time is actually going to directly helping those in need.
