My Nonprofit Reviews

I have volunteered at this program before and I just so happen to work for the public schools. When you volunteer, sometimes you don't get to see the end result or see the people you have helped make a difference for, but I was lucky enough to see the end result. On Wednesday nights (I believe it is) they have a family night where they pack food into a plastic bag for school children who need it for the weekend. It is food that is easy to make or snack on that will last them through the weekend until they are able to go back to school and eat a meal there. Well, while at work one day I noticed that there were several children who happened to get a package from the office (they try to be discreet so not to embarrass the kids) and just so happen I saw what was in one package and it was the packaged food for the weekend. It was good to know that every volunteers' work was actually going to real people. Sometimes I wonder who really receives this or does my work make a difference, but I liked knowing that the food went to someone who really needed it.
