Every person has two hands, and no matter how hard a person tries to accomplish multiple things at a single time, he/she will most likely fall short. In this world, there are tasks that an individual can perform brilliantly on his/her own, but many activities require individuals working as a team to achieve collective goals.
Volunteering is a collective goal that is impossible to fulfil on one’s own and it requires aspiring and active individuals who have an urge and wish to help the people who need assistance and support the most. Volunteering is a free resource for a charitable organization which helps to spread the mission and more importantly achieve the goals of helping the entire community.
The charitable organizations which are working to end hunger and poverty run food banks which requires a large number of volunteers who can collect, sort, and pack and then distribute the food to the respective communities where there is child, senior and rural hunger.
Not everyone is born affluent, and many people have to struggle with the tough hardship of hunger and poverty. The role of volunteers is to care and fulfill the basic needs of the less fortunate people of the society and country. Each volunteer extends a helping hand and does good deeds only for the betterment and progress of their fellow countrymen without wanting anything in return.
Becoming a volunteer in food banks is truly rewarding as the individual themselves the condition of destitute people and how a volunteer’s little contribution and effort can change the lives of the people. Many of the volunteers have a healthy interaction with the kids and senior and want to put an extra effort to reduce their miseries by providing them sufficient food supply to make them happy.
In times of hurricanes and calamities, the food banks are the only source of nutritional food for many families and households. As a volunteer, you can help people in the time of tragedy and loss. No matter if you are handing out food in the food pantry, packing food boxes or distributing them, your effort matters a lot and can improve the lives of needy people by giving them access to food which they deserve
