AYLUS RC Branch Volunteers Shine at ALFC Generosity Center on 07/22/2023
On July 22, 2023, the RC Branch showcased their unwavering commitment to community service as 15 members convened at the ALFC Generosity Center. This location has been a consistent and dedicated service site for our branch, with monthly requests from the organizers for our assistance, typically requiring 10 to 15 volunteers. The summer vacation season brought 15 eager volunteers together, and the excitement of reuniting after some time apart was palpable.
The task for the day was food distribution at our designated site in the city, where free food is provided to those in need. When we gathered at 8:00 AM, the queue of vehicles waiting to receive food was already exceptionally long. Adult volunteers took on the responsibility of directing traffic and maintaining order among the vehicles, while our high school volunteers efficiently loaded each vehicle with the various food items allocated to their respective stalls.
The food distribution area was extensive, featuring a wide variety of food items, including stalls for vegetables, fruits, meats, bread, beverages, canned goods, and more. Our high school volunteers, known for their strength and determination, worked tirelessly to move and organize the diverse food items. The number of vehicles seeking assistance was substantial, but our team persevered for five hours. We meticulously packaged and distributed food, ensuring that every vehicle was adequately supplied.
Despite the sweltering weather, our collective efforts resulted in the distribution of 400 portions of food within the allocated time frame. Witnessing the joy and gratitude on the faces of those receiving our assistance was the most rewarding part of the day.
Our dedication to this meaningful activity remains unwavering, and we are determined to continue making a positive impact in our community. We are proud to be part of this united force for good, always ready to lend a helping hand when it’s needed most. We look forward to future opportunities to serve our community and bring smiles to those in need.
