About this Experience
When
First Volunteered - November 2021
How I Volunteered
Starting November 2021, I signed up to volunteer at the food pantry before my classes in the morning. I would help unpack the morning donations and start to pack the days orders.
What I Learned
I learned about the number of grocery stores that donate damaged or expired foods.
I learned about the number of students that are able to use the resource and how they can benefit from it.
Introduced to GBRFB
Through volunteering at the LSU Food Pantry, I became friends with the volunteer coordinator, Victora. At the end of Spring 2022, Victoria moved over to work at the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank. Since the summer had started, I began volunteering at least once a week. When the school semester begins, I shift my time back and forth between the food pantry and the food bank.
