Doing volunteer work is a great way to get involved within a community. The Houston Food Bank is a place that I had been in before. In my experience I have found that I really like to volunteer and I plan on going back in the near future. Volunteering has helped me in exploring my interests and abilities. It is through volunteer opportunities that I have learned how to communicate with others and acquire skills that can transfer into the workplace. When trying to find a job, employers look for volunteer experience because that just shows them that you take time out of your life to help others.
I have also learned that the world does not revolve around me. There are many people in much worse situations that need help. I am grateful for the opportunities that I have been given in life. I am fortunate enough to be in a position where I am able to help those in need. Serving the community whether big or small will make a big impact on the lives of people that need it the most. By doing this we not only encourage others to volunteer, but we help the less fortunate form a more positive outlook on life.
Volunteering at the Houston Food Bank this past Saturday I saw how much productivity was done in just the four hours that I was there. The workers are always enthusiastic and that just creates a welcoming mood for all who attend. Another thing that I like is that at the end of our volunteer hours the employees of the Houston Food Bank give the number of meals that is served from the work that the volunteers put in. Overall, I feel that volunteering helps me improve as a person. It is a great way to serve a community as well as meet new people.
I feel that everyone should volunteer it does not necessarily have to be at the Houston Food Bank but it should be in a place where they feel that their time will be well spent. I am glad I got the chance to volunteer because I feel better about myself knowing that I helped others and I look forward to many more
