On Friday, July 5th, from 9:00–1:00 PM, the Roslyn Branch of AYLUS volunteered and helped out the community food drive called Nosh Delivery, in which we helped out the workers in their food pantry, give food products and produce out to people.
When we arrived at the food pantry, we all at first helped restock the food products before it was open to the customers/shoppers. While we were restocking, we got some training by Nosh Delivery’s director, Linda, on helping out and answering any questions customers might have on certain products. After they opened the pantry to the customers, we split into two groups of two, excluding chaperones, in which one group helps out the customers coming in and the other group restocking any products that are running low on the shelves. It was a very fun experience and it helped us gain experience. Nearing the end of our time working together with the food pantry, Kacie Li and Brooke Zheng left with their chaperone, assisting Nosh Delivery with delivering their food products to the families nearby.
Today, we have learned that we should try our best to provide and assist our community and that we should never take things for granted. Being able to spend our time and assist Nosh Delivery in distributing food out to people helps us understand how much of a difference we can make to our community rather than spending our time on electronics.
