Today was our first official day volunteering. We got up around 7am and headed over to the Capitol Area Food Bank. Most of the day was spent sorting and packing food and everyone got a good workout. We also got to meet some great people that work at the Food Bank and found out how the organization operates. By the time we got done volunteering it was 4pm and raining. On our way back to the metro station we met a local resident that was a very talented guitar player so everyone sang along while he played popular songs by artists like Adele. After the jam session we had to go grocery shopping to get more supplies for the rest of the week. Right now most of us are taking a break before dinner and reflections. There is a few people also hanging out with the people that are currently at the shelter. Here is a group picture of us with all the boxes we packed.
Until tomorrow,
Sara
