If I had to choose what my favorite things are in this world, I would have to include my love for food high on the list. Food is something that I associate with company and love. People in my life have given me experiences that have made food more than just something in my stomach. Food given with love or in a time of need is very powerful. It can bring communities together and save parents the time of worrying about feeding their kids. When I was a kid growing up, my mother would always make meals for our friends if they were going through something tough as a family, and would make my siblings and I go with her to deliver. It meant a lot to me to see those families smile when we brought them a hot meal ready to eat. I hope that I can do that for someone and I think I can accomplish that through Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee.
Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tn also believes that hunger is a problem that no one should ever have to face. They are deeply committed to seeing that every individual and family in East Tennessee has access to good nutritious food. Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee not only provides meals to those in hunger but is also working to find solutions to food being wasted or food that could be given to someone else. By partnering with local farmers, grocery stores, and community organizations, Second Harvest of East Tn has been able to find places for food before it is wasted or thrown away. People who are helped by Second Harvest find that the food they receive is given with love. Second Harvest wants to help people achieve their full potential through keeping everyone fed. Through compassion and community support, Second Harvest continues to make a meaningful difference in East Tn.
I wanted to work with Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tn so that I could have a chance to share my love for food and what comes with a good meal. Second Harvest Food Bank of East TN has a lot of work on their plate, covering 18 counties. Going into this holiday season, any kids, parents, and others will be hungry and cold. I want to help keep some of these people fed and warm this winter. My group campaign is focused on collecting food donations and financial donations, but in reality it is much more than that. Our team is working to collect food through food drives, spreading awareness with social media posts, and doing events on campus at the University of Tennessee. We are a group of college students who want to give back to the community we get to attend school in. As a testament to being a vol, we want to give back to this very special place.
