Aggie Cupboard Challenge

The purpose of this proposal is to start a canned food drive and help in the fight against hunger during the holidays.

Usually, when the Fall comes around in Dallas, it means one or two things. The Grambling State University (GSU) Tigers vs. the Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU) Panthers’ game and the State Fair of Texas. By all means everything fell into place on October 1, 2016.

This year Millards South Student Council has decided to start our own student pantry. Our council really wanted to focus on a big project that would benefit our student body. Our administrative staff informed us that 27% of our student body needs financial assistance and qualifies for free and reduced lunch services. This number is significantly higher that our neighboring high school.Once we found this news out, our council knew that we wanted to relate our project to helping them. The first step we did was create a project proposed form and present it to our administrator to start the process of creating the pantry. We were approved and given a room in the school to use as our pantry. We did a lot of research and even visited ‘Ralston High

Tomorrow is the championship for the turkey bowl. The turkey bowl championship is an all star team goes to different places. I was 8 when all this happened we never closed in football but this team we are play against in the championship were a lot bigger than us so I didn't feel good about this game.

Least of the Brethren is a local food pantry in Pinkneyville, it is where I am choosing to plunge for my assignment. I am choosing this culture because of the high number of low socioeconomic students that attend school in our area. I feel it is important to understand the needs in our area in order to connect with future students and their families. To be very honest, I know there is a great need for support in our area. However, I assume the families that need this support also receive government assistance through programs such as WIC and Link. Plunging into this culture I hope to gain a better understanding of why pantries are still needed and how I can become more active in addressing the need locally. With the knowledge I hope to gain

I go to St. James every other Wednesday. On Wednesday, the food truck is delivered to St. James Food Pantry. The assignment for the day is listed on the white board in the back of the pantry. The assignments state what bag a volunteers are doing and what contents needs to be in each bag. In each bag, the items will consist of one item from each food group on the food pyramid. St. James is about supplying their clients with nutritional food because they want to help clients not only physical but mental. After filling the bags that the specific person is assigned to, volunteers go to help other groups and organized shelves. At that time any open cases of food: are either stock them or put them in any assigned bags. Before lunch time, volunteers start to prepare the homeless lunch and for nutrition class. My job tasks, is to prepare the homeless lunch and lunch table. I have to prepare about forty-five sandwiches, desserts, chip and juices for the homeless in zip-codes St. James serves.

This Project was very useful because our team was able to help our community as well as our citizen’s in the area. Bonita Springs Charter School is a great organization to be a part of, and BSCS has many volunteer opportunities throughout the year. The Harvest Fest is the biggest event for fundraising at the school, which allows parents, families, and staff as well as the Bonita Springs community, to be a part of this great event. In addition, BSCS is a well-known school just miles away from Florida Gulf Coast University, which is very convenient for students that live either at the FGCU campus or in the surrounding area. Furthermore, BSCS is great at returning emails and phone calls for any volunteer position that students are looking to

Within the weeks of April 20 and June 8, I will help provide support to the Isla Vista community by working at Jesus Burgers. Every Friday evening I will report to the Jesus Burger house and serve under Team Leader Jason Lomelino. This person will be a great contact to help me not only get acquainted with the other staff but the overall goal this groups strives for.

Throughout my research on MIFA I have learned just how much of an impact the organization has had in combating the hunger in Memphis. MIFA is a pillar of our community both from the work it does to serve senior and families in crisis, and by brining our community together in the vision of a better Memphis. Those who give to and through MIFA care little about being recognized for donations, but receive satisfaction from knowing their service helps those who desperately need it. Their work has inspired me to sacrifice some of my weekends to help volunteer in the near future so I can do my

Food fight- At scream town with Roatary Interact club I set up an areana, provieded bad and expried food, helped run the food fight and helped with the clean up.

When I arrived for my first day to volunteer at Irving Cares located at 440 S. Nursery Road, Suite 101 in Irving, Texas, Kroger’s grocery stores had just ended a food drive in which Irving Cares had received many boxes of canned food, bakery goods, bread, and large bins of produce. All volunteers sign in and out each day in a folder in the front office. After a tour of the facilities, I started unpacking all the canned products. This involved carrying a box of canned goods from the warehouse to the shelves in the food pantry, opening the box and placing the canned foods on the shelves, breaking down the empty box and putting it in the recycle bin back in the warehouse. Dented cans were to

I would like to give recognition to David Wilson for what he has accomplished in Cedar Hill. His restaurant, David’s Seafood Grill, has been and still is a great place to dine at with a variety of good food in his menu. The atmosphere is very comfortable and extremely family friendly. It is not only a fine place to dine at, but a great place to meet new people and make friends. Because of David, his staff and the restaurant, Bonnie and I have met a lot of good people and become close friends with many of them. We took our families to David’s to eat, have fun and create new memories. I have family who have searched for a David-like restaurant in their city, but to their disappointment they could not find one that come close to what David’s

Every other Friday, Cascades Elementary hosts Popcorn Friday in their cafeteria. Volunteers come and help make, bag, and distribute the salty snack to the classrooms. The line goes popcorn machine, empty bags, bag folders and tape placers, finished bags, and classroom totes. However, to make the line flow easily, the line might go; empty bags, popcorn machine, bag folders, tapers, finished bags in lines of five, and the classroom totes that are brought up from the classroom. This suggested lineup requires a volunteer to open bags and place them so the popcorn machine volunteer is able to reach the paper bags, and possibly a couple more volunteers to ensure the supplies needed never runs out and the flow is maintained. Unfortunately, many parents with nothing to do on Fridays do not come to help.
