Sack Pack Program Analysis

Summer brought a conclusion to AP exams, AP and Honors classes, and Swim Team. Although I grateful for the much deserved break, I had an overwhelming urge to become an active member for my community. I knew I needed to obtain my mark in the world in a special way during the summer large-scale or not. However, I never thought I would volunteer at a food bank. As an acutely withdrawn and self-conscious person, I’d much rather prefer to assist out behind the scenes, as a dutiful background member. Volunteering at a busy food bank transformed me in a way I couldn’t even imagine. Being up front and center among people taught me confidence I had never experienced. While performing my countless roles (providing prayer for clients, setting up food

She uses examples of how that parents of the children send them to a free summer school program so that’s one or two less meals that the parents have to worry about. There are people out there who see that there is a problem and they are going to find some way to end the hunger of the children today. “Families are struggling in a way they haven’t done for a long time,” say Brian Loring, the executive director of Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County Iowa, that provide free lunches for the summer

Lauren DuCharme is an inspiring woman from campus ministry and is very passionate about what she does. A friend of hers came to her about an issue that caught her attention: students on campus cannot feed themselves.

I will also provide details and examples of teamwork, communication and networking experiences gained while at the event. A brief overview of the Montgomery County Food bank will also be provided with information on the assignment task, measurable success and interaction with fellow students and organization directors.

The search for justice is never ending. Justice may be delayed, denied, or postponed, however, the search is timeless. To be just is to argue for fair rights for all. It is to be someone that will help the people of the community. However, many times justice is not sought and not given to those who need it most. In the play Antigone by Sophocles, he demonstrates the many ways an unjust leader can overpower those who fight for what is right (Adams 1). In Antigone’s case, she fought for the just treatment of her brother in his afterlife and for giving him a proper burial. In her fight for justice, Antigone exhibits strong beliefs of fairness to her community regarding family, rights and morality in her battle against a seemingly unjust leader, Kreon.

Yet every day, there are millions of children and adults who do not get the meals they need to thrive. We work to get nourishing food – from farmers, manufacturers, and retailers – to people in need.

Dill Driscoll has made a huge impact on many lives with bringing Manna Drop to Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College. The Manna Drop is where faculty and students give food to families on Thanksgiving that lack money to buy it themselves.

Williams advocates for each client with passion and diligence. He is fully aware of his situation yet greets each day with new fire and energy.

Travis Williams epitomizes why the legal community must be dedicated to serving the men and women who should be, but are not, treated as their more privileged, more affluent counterparts.
