    Mobile Food Pantry

    Doing the mobile food pantry, I already know what I will be doing! I am excited to continue to help people in my community. I am always meeting new volunteers whenever I go too. I am extremely grateful to be able to volunteer here. I will be focusing on giving out boxes of food for those who are not technically homeless, but are still in need of food.

    Tanika @ Botanic Garden

    I volunteered at Memphis Botanic Garden on their plant sale! I made a separate impact for it because it would not allow me to add the impact (and it wasn’t showing up in their system).
    This event focuses on allowing customers to come and buy plants. What I did was assist customers on whatever they needed, whether that was helping them put up the plants in their car, bringing the wagons back (that they used to purchase the plants), etc.
    It was very hot outside, but it was rewarding because a lot of the customers were older. I am happy I am able to help them not put any unnecessary strain on their body. (I have a shirt from the event if I need to show any proof that I went).

    Community Lunch Program

    I love volunteering here all the time. It allows me to help those within my community. I wish I was able to do this experience with more people, but I am still happy to contribute. They also offered me free rock climbing once! The workers are nice and so are the people I get to help. Hope I can volunteer here again.

    Outreach: Food and Clothing Volunteer

    I want to become a regular volunteer here! They develop close relationships with the people they interact with. The people who are involved are also super nice too! They also help with the homeless by providing temporary homes, food, clothing, and so much more. It is an amazing organization.

    Outreach: Food and Clothing Volunteer

    I did not do the clothing segment, but I passed out sack lunches to the homeless. It was very nice seeing people’s relationships with each other and talking to them. Everyone was really nice!
