On November 7, I partook in the NUMANA food packaging event with my Key Club in Dodge City. I woke up early in the morning to ride to Dodge. When we arrived in Dodge at nine in the morning, we headed to the Civic Center. Upon our arrival, we were given gloves and hairnets to wear. We waited for a table to package at for about ten minutes and then we go to work. Our club was split into two to work at different packing tables. The way the tables worked was that there was ten to twelve people at a stations and we were set up in an assembly line. A few people poured rice, beans,herbs, and vegetables. The next people weighed the bags to make sure they were the right size. The people at the end of the assembly line sealed the bags and placed them …show more content…
First of all, I managed to help out the Numana staff. The Numana staff work hard and I believe I made their job easier. Our group tried to work diligently without bothering the staff members too often. They were able to help other groups without having to worry about us as much. We also helped out the Numana organization as a whole by participating in their event. The Numana organization is solely based off of volunteer groups and by participating, we kept their group going. We supported them by showing up and by working hard to make their organization look good. Next, I supported my Key Club by participating in Numana. Key Club needed around twenty people to volunteer for the event, and by signing up I signed up to represent my club in front of hundreds of people. I believe that my group and I upheld the values of Key Club at the event by acting appropriately and working hard. Last but not least, my group helped thousands of starving people around the world by partaking in this event. There are millions of people in the world suffering from hunger and my Key Club was able to feed hundreds of them. One meal that we fed them could make or break them. Numana events have benefited children and families in The United States of America, Kenya, Sierra Leone, Haiti, Vietnam, El Salvador, Malawi, Honduras, Colombia, South Africa, Rwanda, Philippines and Liberia. It is amazing that our group may have fed people …show more content…
On November the 17th, I was dismissed at 3pm from school to drive over to the stoplight parking lot. After our arrival, a semi truck pulled into the parking lot, along with several other vehicles. The staff introduced themselves to us and quickly put us to work. We helped them set up tables first. Then, we helped them unload and organize the food from the trucks. We then delegated tasks to each other and got to work with the food handout. The way it worked was in an assembly line order. Most of us had food to handout and some of us had to help carry the grocery bags to people’s cars. My job was to give out the peas, the tomatoes, and the boxed rice. I had to place them in the grocery bags and pass them on to the next worker. When I ran out of something, I had to check the pallets for more or ask a staff member to find me some. After an hour of working my station, one of the girls the next station over had to leave. I had to temporarily cover her job and mine at the same time. I was in charge of covering six different foods for that time period. Eventually, my club sponsor helped me so that I could keep up. After we handed out all the food, we had to help take down the tables and load up the extra
An agreed set of public goals for our community is that as a whole group we do a lot of community service. For a couple of years my club would go to a nursing home and do different activities with the elderly. Whether it be making them sun catchers to hang in their windows or play board and card games with them. It
2. FMSC sought to develop a cost-effective way to package and ship these meals around the country and world. After testing packing machines FMSC realized these machines were expensive and ineffective and that is how they developed the volunteer packing method they use today. To distribute the packaged meals, FMSC partnered with major global non-profit distribution companies.
Moreover, this case study analysis focuses on AMC and the challenges that the nonprofit faces during the restructuring of a club that operated primarily by volunteers to a professional managed organization. This case study analysis will provide the following: descriptions of the problems AMC is challenged with, an identification of AMC’s major players using a stakeholder analysis, and finally, provide recommendations and strategies to solve AMC’s challenges. After conducting this case analysis, one will understand how an organization can experience significant challenges as it transitions so that an organization can stay competitive in the nonprofit sector.
The next morning, I woke up at 9:30am to prepare myself for my second day at McDonalds. I got dress into my uniform and jumped into the car to go to work. I arrived at McDonald and noticed that it was very busy inside. As I walked in, I was automatically being placed on front counter to take order but I was very nervous to take order because I didn’t know how to take them. My manager taught me how to take the order and after a while I began to start taking orders without any help. Everything was going great until one customer came into store with complaint. I politely asked if he needed help, then angrily started yell at me about his order being incorrect. The man even started to blame me for incorrectly bagging his food. His yelling was so loud that my manager and even customer had to calm him down and escort him out of the store. At the end of shift, I talked to manager and told her that I wanted quit because the customer made me so upset and embarrassed. She told me quitting would be the wrong option and she told me that her and the other managers liked me working there.
I worked at a wholesale nursery, I had known the owners granddaughter from school and she said she could get me a job. In the first month it was great, I was working with her and another friend of ours and we had a good time doing whatever needed being done. It went downhill quickly. First our friend, Bryam, went to Florida to a soccer camp and I knew this would change things a little but I didn’t think a whole lot of it. After another couple of weeks the owners’ granddaughter, Madison, suddenly started sporadically missing work. I asked her just in passing what she was up to and she told me often “just hanging” or “at a swim meet”, she was on a swim team. At first I wasn’t that bothered. I figured she just wanted a break, laboring at the nursery in the summer heat was certainly work, and she dealt with it all year long. Needless to say, things didn’t improve. I was stuck almost every day doing the work of two people, which in turn cut my output in half. Talking to Madison’s mom one day, I discovered the swim team only met twice a week and even when they did it was in the morning before work even started. This surprised me a lot, I thought I knew Madison pretty well and I never figured she’d hang me out to dry doing both of our jobs. Several times I tried to subtly explain the situation, texting her in the middle of the day saying “man work is killing me today, I have to trim up
The job itself isn’t bad, depending on the shift and the day anyways. Our duty is to cook food in a fryer, oven, rotisserie, slice meat and cheese on a slicer, serve customers, wash dishes, and the list could go on. For example, if there is a night shift there 's a long list of things we have to clean. If the staff work together, we’ll be able to leave work early. For instance last night we were able to get the job done. Megan and I were the only ones there to close the store last night. We are normally supposed to have three people closing and Megan was sick so I had to do a lot of cleaning. She hated the fact that she kept asking me to do things, but I really wasn 't doing anything. Like the phrase same stuff, different day. That 's not how it 's said, but you get the idea.

While my job isn’t the best; it’s better than nothing. Working in the past eight months at Rite Aid, I’ve seen employees come and go at least once a month. My job title is “Sales Associate”. This merely doesn’t describe all my responsibilities. They range from receiving new merchandise on Mondays and Thursdays, which what we call ‘truck night’ to mopping the floor of pharmacy before I am able to call it a night. We are understaffed and consequently, I am overloaded with duties and by the time the morning comes, I am exhausted to the point where I am unable to concentrate in school. During the eight months, the majority of the Monday and Thursday nights, it has been the Night Time Assistant Manager and I. this is basically two people single
My time spent at Community Harvest included a Thursday and a Friday where my first day spent there included packing bags full of food for senior citizens who would come to pick up their groceries throughout the day. Furthermore, each bag contained the same groceries which made this task fairly simple in comparison to my second day there. One my second day, I assisted those who were shopping for their groceries. Furthermore, I filled out forms which indicated how many pounds of food each person could take. My role was to keep track of 7-10 different shoppers at times while instructing them to what items they could take and how many pounds of those items. Senior citizens as well as those who are in an unfortunate situation benefitted from my actions due to the fact that I filled their bags with groceries and helped instruct people on what groceries they were allowed to
On Wednesday, February 7th 2018 it was my first time volunteering with Martha's Table. I signed up to volunteer at the clothing store, known as Martha's Outlet, but the volunteer coördinator directed me to the kitchen because they needed more staff. I was quite excited to work in the kitchen because I love cooking and organizing. When I got to the kitchen, I put on an apron, gloves, and hair net to make sure a sanitary place. My first task was to organize the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that organizations such as law firms, schools, and churches. I organized hundreds of sandwiches that were given out for free at dinner as well as in the lobby of Martha's Table. Another task I did while at dinner and the dishes was to go outside and
On August 4, 2015, Vivian Cu and I chose to volunteer at the Second Harvest Food Bank located on 700 Edwards Ave. in New Orleans. Our Tuesday morning of service started at 9AM and ended around 11:30AM. In preparation for my first time at Second Harvest, I wore comfortable clothes that were easy to move around in and that were possible to get dirty in. The man in charge of all volunteer services, Vince, quickly gave me my duty for the day. There is a huge case of canned goods and my job was to put as many canned goods as possible on a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt would carry these cans to many aisles where other volunteers would put them into smaller boxes that had to weigh from fifteen to thirty pounds. After packaging these boxes, Second
I have always had great passion for helping others and I thought the best to do that is through my community. So, when I heard about service clubs, I took the initiative to try something different. I ended up with one of the best things, Key Club. It’s centered around volunteering and giving back to the community. Through the club, I’ve been given the opportunity to make valuable friendships with likeminded people who want to have fulfilling experiences volunteering. I have always had great passion for helping others and Key club represented the perfect opportunity to express that. After my first year, I wanted to put back into the club what it had given me.
I had been working at Wendy’s for a little over a year and a half. It’s a job and like all jobs it could be stressful and annoying from time to time, but I endured it though because I was no ordinary employee. After only a couple of months of working there, management thought it prudent to promote me to their ranks. I went from being just an average hardworking employee, like everyone else, to learning how to run a shift on my own and directing other employees in their tasks. I had also obtained a rewarding pay increase of $7.25 to $9.00. I did not take this promotion lightly. If they had seen something in me to make them want to put me in this position, then I was gonna prove it to them. I was very proud of this promotion, and I did all I could to the best of my abilities to show everyone there that I had earned it. The store was equivalent to the back of my hand. There was nothing in that entire store that I could not do in the fastest most suitable way. I knew exactly what to do, but new employees or other incompetent workers did not. Being an assistant manager meant that I had to teach others on the ways of the store. I was, and still am, a horrible teacher. Quite often I would resort to doing everything myself because others were too slow or just wouldn’t get it. One day I recall coming to work and was told to teach a new employee on how to make sandwiches. This particular employee was very slow though and couldn’t get the orders out in time. Because of
Good packages can help preserve food and prolong its shelf life during storage, transport retailing and consumption.
This is my fourth week volunteering at the Community Shelter Board. On Tuesday of this week we had county fried chicken, green beans, French fries, and rice crisp treats. When I got to the shelter on Tuesday I was assigned to make ham sandwiches for tomorrow’s lunch, then at 6:20pm we started to make kids plates. The kid plates are made ahead of the time and served in a cart. I got to help making the kid plates since I worked on the family side. The only difference between a kids plate compared to an adult plate is that the proportion of food is slightly less and they would each get a box of milk. After we are finished with serving meals to the shelter guests; we clean up the dining room and kitchen. The whole process of preparing, serving,
