Food Pantry Challenges
Now that Christmas is over, I am sure you all are wondering how our can challenge is taking place, especially since Super Bowl Sunday is around the corner ( Feb 5th to be exact). We are collecting cans and various other food items for our local food pantry, which is always in great need during the winter months. Not only are we collecting for a great cause and need, we are also collecting to see Pastor wear some great Steeler’s gear. As part of the challenge, he would wear the Almost Famous Steeler’s Stole for 1000 collected items. If we collected 2000 items…there is a special item Pastor will wear. Let’s hurry and collect those food items to help our neighbors and convert Pastor in a Steeler’s fan.

    Community Food Bank Reflection

    Spelman College’s motto, A Choice to Change the World, mirrors my goal as a member of this intellectual community. During my first year at this institution, I dedicated myself to several hours of community service. I found that this was a vital part of my intellectual growth as both a student and person within society. This year I volunteered for several nonprofit organizations, however I dedicated most of my time to the Atlanta Community Food Bank. Before volunteering for this organization I was not quite sure how I would be able to make a significant difference in my community. However, when I volunteered for this organization, I was able to tremendously help people in Atlanta. Likewise, this experience opened my eyes to the increasing…

    Food Deserts: A Case Study

    homeless or jobless and question themselves on how they will gain their next meal. The regulations and food examination that the USDA and FDA implement are to secure the quality of food products and that they pass the law requirements. Although this results in great irony, due to the fact that the government is focused in creating healthy and nutritious food products concerned about the health of the consumer, that they forget to distribute quality food to those who can’t afford it. For example, public schools have low funds and tend to have contracts with companies that sell sugary beverages and starchy artificial snacks, they usually have pouring right contracts. This results harmful in children’s health, over the years they develop obesity,…

    Superbowl Sunday Research Paper

    The day had finally come. No it wasn't Christmas or the New Year, Kwanza or even Easter. It was the the most glorious day of all days, the Superbowl. Now for anyone who has never heard of the Superbowl and lives in America, that person has either lived in a cave for their whole life or…well that I think would be safe to say that's probably the only case because everyone knows what the Superbowl is. Anyway, this Superbowl Sunday started off just a little bit different than most Superbowl's I've had off from work and for any of this day to make any sense for anyone that wasn't there, I'm going to have to start by including some background information on the previous events that led up to this day.…

    Food Pantry Research Paper

    The place that I decided to volunteer at was the St. Thomas Church Pantry. The purpose of this service is to get food to people who have fallen upon tough financial times. One business skill that this group needs to keep the food pantry running is marketing skills. One of the struggles that food pantries have is not getting enough food donations of items they need. So, the leader of the pantry must ask for donations of the items that they run low on. This also means that the volunteers at the Pantry must take inventory on food items to ensure that they will not run out of certain food items. Also, they have to have a volunteer schedule just like most businesses this is to ensure that at least two volunteers will be working during the two days of the week that the Pantry is…

    Food Pantries Research Paper

    Many people go to the food pantries in Indiana, which causes very long lines at the food pantry. All of the food pantries in Northwest Indiana have at least 600 people that visit every month. But, some of the food pantries serve more people that others. This is due to the fact that the town might not have a great deal of poverty in their area. But, it might also be that there is not a very big population in the town. The food pantries that serve a lot of people have very long lines so it takes longer for everyone to inherit what they need and it also uses more food and other resources for the people. So, a new schedule should be made for the opening times and dates of the food pantry so that everyone that needs to come can come, and so that…
