I filled out a visitor's card and a member of the church called me to thank me for coming. I think the Church has been a welcoming place for Burmese Refugees, who seem to be incorporated into the life of the church. Not quite sure what sort of Baptist Church it is. They also have Godly play for preschool age kids on Wednesday evening after their Wednesday dinners. The Church is not liturgical like Methodist, Catholic, or Episcopal churches. More liturgical than non-denominational churches I have been to.

At Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore, there are several locations where you can volunteer. Just knowing that these families are being helped is a reward with in itself, and I appreciate organizations like this one. I'm going to make a commitment to volunteer more often like I used to in the past. It's been about a few days of volunteering, and I personally love the Young Terrace location. There's enough space to move around, and the guests (community) are grateful and very respectful. I've assisted with stocking and food distribution, but would love to see what's behind the scenes. Overall, if you want to give back to the community and feel amazing, check out a few locations, one may be real close to you. Sidenote: For those picking up food, there is a limit for each food category (canned goods, chicken, eggs, etc). You can have a bag full of produce. Quality is in good condition and some almost going bad, but you choose at your own discretion.

Walter is so helpful w/ the signup process and Bobby in the warehouse is amazing. Since the pandemic, my co-workers didn't get to go this year.

Highly recommend volunteering at the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia. It's fun, safe, and helps those less fortunate. Win win!

Maryland Food Bank thrives off of weekend volunteer hours for packers in their conveyor belt area to box canned goods and boxed foods as they'd otherwise have to bill these hours to payroll. I enjoyed myself and even got in a little cardio as the belt moved more and more foodstuffs through. I was in charge of canned veggies and boy were there lots of them. It was a good time and I can't wait to go back!

They take your information and you bear your soul only to be told, "we can't help you". Instead of calling the individual like they say they will within 24-48 hours, you hear absolutely nothing. I would NEVER treat ANYONE that needed assistance in this manner, but I guess this is what happens when you have no compassion or empathy. As far as suggestions go, there were NONE. I pray GOD uses me to be a better vessel to do works for ALL PEOPLE, not select individuals.
