Review for Second Harvest of Silicon Valley, San Jose, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have been an intern for Second Harvest Food Bank for two non consecutive years and a volunteer at the warehouse with my fellow members from Key Club (another non profit organization).

Honestly, I haven't been exposed to anything that has made me upset or wanting to change anything about the food bank. I am just very pleased to be working with such an enthusiastic group of individuals and the passion for ending hunger is enlightened every time I walk through the doors. That passion should never ever stop!
