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.
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.
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.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."
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.
