Review for North Texas Food Bank, Plano, TX, USA
Our team worked alongside two other volunteer groups during an afternoon shift at NTFB. It was very rewarding to see the camaraderie and enthusiasm on everyone's part. My stint helping at the loading dock was strenuous, as we stacked hundreds of 24-packs of Propel vitamin water that had toppled from pallets. But it was satisfying to get it done so that the regular warehouse workers could continue being productive. The afternoon teams together packed up about 17,000 meals. The NTFB fulfills a tremendous need in the community and I look forward to working there again.
