Mid-City Food Distribution

Last month I had the opportunity to participate in a food distribution at the Mid-City Church of the Nazarene. The event involved handing out food (which was donated from local food banks and businesses) to financially-burdened residents of City Heights. Many volunteers showed up to the church on the morning of the distribution, all performing different tasks to help the process run smoothly. I assisted in breaking down empty food boxes and gathering them for recycling, as well as reorganizing any extra food that had not been taken. The distribution finished quickly and seemingly effortlessly – I was impressed with how smoothly everything went and felt proud to have been involved in the process. It felt extremely rewarding to have been a part of a group effort like this one, especially knowing that our efforts would have a positive impact on the community.
