The AYLUS Bellaire Branch volunteered at the Houston Food Bank on Sunday, April 9, 2023.
The Houston Food Bank is America’s largest food bank in distribution leading hunger relief in 18 southeast Texas counties. They distribute fresh produce, meat and nonperishables and prepare
nutritious hot meals for kids in our state.
Volunteers on Sunday helped with the Senior Box, where volunteers gather to provide a monthly box of food to low-income seniors and other eligible individuals.
From 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM, volunteers worked on packing cans and bags of food such as rice, dried comestibles (milk, potatoes, beef stew), cereal, juice, and more into boxes. At the end, they cleaned the working area. During the volunteering time, along with the other volunteer organizations they packed a total of nine pallets of boxes, equal to 405 boxes of nearly 12,000 pounds of food or 10,000 meals.
The following volunteers attended this event (3 hours): Alexander Tang, Jason Deng, Helena Wang, Julia Hu, Lucy Huang, Yufei Zhang, Shreyas Sinha, Catherine Xue
