Unlock the Potential of Volunteerism with the Family Center
Volunteering on the First Day
On my inaugural day at the center, a mix of nerves and curiosity filled me. Having no prior volunteering experience, I was unsure of what to anticipate. However, the person in charge was incredibly kind and immediately put me at ease. They asked if it was my first time volunteering there, and when I replied affirmatively, they provided clear instructions on the tasks I could assist with. One of the tasks I took on was packing the fulfilled orders and neatly placing them on the shelves in the front, ensuring they were ready for pick-up. This simple act gave me a sense of purpose and belonging from the very start.It was a learning experience as well. I discovered the importance of organization and attention to detail in ensuring the smooth operation of the center. The staff members were patient and understanding, guiding me through each step and answering all my questions. Their expertise and enthusiasm inspired me to continue volunteering and make a more significant impact.
The Helpful and Accommodating Environment
The people at the Family & Intercultural Resource Center were truly a source of support and kindness. Whenever I was unsure about the location of an item, they were quick to offer their assistance. Their willingness to help made me feel valued and part of the team. Additionally, they were very accommodating. They made sure I felt welcome from the moment I walked through the door. If I was thirsty, I could grab a drink; if I needed a break, I could take one; and if I wanted to enjoy some snacks, they were readily available.This inclusive environment had a profound impact on me. I never once felt shut out or excluded. Instead, I was surrounded by positive attitudes and a sense of community. It was amazing to see how everyone worked together to achieve a common goal. Whether it was helping a fellow volunteer carry boxes to the shelves or simply offering a friendly smile, the sense of unity was palpable.
The Value of the Organization
The Family & Intercultural Resource Center holds great value in my eyes. In today's world, many people struggle to keep up with the high cost of living in Summit. This organization plays a crucial role in helping those in need by providing fresh grocery food to local residents who are facing financial difficulties. It gives them a glimmer of hope and a chance to meet their basic needs.By being a part of this organization, I witnessed firsthand the difference it makes in people's lives. It is not just about providing food; it is about showing compassion and support to those who are going through tough times. The work they do is truly inspiring and makes me proud to be a part of it.
I am grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of the Family & Intercultural Resource Center for a few days. It has left a lasting impression on me and has made me realize the importance of volunteerism in our society. I look forward to continuing to contribute and making a positive difference in the lives of others.How a Dollar Transforms into Three Meals
No longer is it easy to fill a grocery basket with affordable items. However, at the South Plains Food Bank, a loaded grocery cart costs a mere $10. Mike Lambert, the director of Donor Engagement, explains that this transformation became possible a few years ago during the pandemic when they switched from accepting food donations to funds. "With our buying power, we can provide three meals for a dollar. This decision and change have actually benefited us. It enables us to offer a more consistent food box to our neighbors, allowing us to plan precisely what goes into those boxes and how we purchase the food," he said.Every day, the food bank distributes monthly food boxes to 350 families across the South Plains. These boxes contain pantry staples in non-perishable items, frozen foods, protein, and fresh produce. The goal is to ensure that families can enjoy a traditional family meal together and that children have access to the same treats as their peers, like pop tarts or cereal.
The food bank also collaborates with partners like United Supermarkets to include a variety of fresh items. Abie Rampy, the director of Public Relations, emphasizes United's love for giving. "Our guests have a passion for giving, and our community is tight-knit. Everyone values being in a giving community, especially during the holiday season. United Supermarkets has a heart for giving; it's our mission and passion. Without our guests, we couldn't fulfill this giving spirit," she said. "It's because of our daily shoppers that we can be a good community partner."
The Switch to Monetary Donations
Lambert acknowledges that the food bank has faced some questions over the years about switching to monetary donations instead of food. However, he believes it has been the best decision for the non-profit and the families it serves. "As we spread the word about why we made this change and demonstrate our buying power and efficiency, it has been well received. We are able to provide better for our neighbors," he said.While the food bank can stretch every dollar, they understand that people may still want to contribute food. A standard box of cereal fits perfectly in their non-perishable box. People can bring a box of cereal during the U Can Share Food Drive at United at 82nd and Frankford or donate a box while shopping at United.
