Take Action Project Part 1

I did my volunteer at North End Soup Kitchen on Monday. It is an organization that offers free food to people who are homeless or have disability. I was helping for 3 and a half hour, because they started to prepare for dinner from 1:30 to 4, and then they offered food from 4 to 5. So, I need to do another one to complete my 4 hours.

We just made sandwiches because there were not enough volunteers. I started with cutting vegetables. The cook asked me to cut peppers and celery into little pieces, and then we made 200 sandwiches. It was not hard for me to cut, because I usually cooked at home. However, it was my first time to make sandwiches. It gave me an experience of making sandwiches. I had to be honest that I felt tired when I was making sandwiches, because I had to stand for a couple of hours and did the same thing for at least a hundred times. After all sandwiches were ready, we set those at a table and waited for people to come in. We needed to run out to give food to people sometimes if they had disability to walk. I had a good experience of helping people and making sandwiches during these 3 and a half hour.
