Best run volunteer event EVER!…read more I had the opportunity to volunteer here recently through my university's alumni program. There were SO many groups of volunteers, but from check to the opportunity itself, everything was seamless. We had a separate area for our group where we could gather beforehand, and also where we could retreat to on our 15-minute break. (Yes, we had an organized break!) The organization had an informative video that they showed at the beginning we were divided into task areas for our shift. There were several staff around throughout the event who we could ask questions to or who could assist, if needed. There were lot of opportunities for group photo taking, too. If this were closer to my house, I'd definitely come back more often! 2026: 39/100

Going through a rough time today, went by several pantries and food banks. Turns out that Thursday is a popular day to not distribute any food. I was advised to come by here and that the people here are nice and accommodating. I arrived and was immediately assisted by an older woman whom was very kind and sweet, she directed me to a desk area where an annoyed looking younger woman sat, whom looked and sound like she didn't want to be bothered and was trying to get people out of her hair. When it came time to ask i attempt to ask if I can pay "half for less" and she told me its only 50 they dont offer any other help it is what it is and she couldn't direct me anywhere else. She said she can charge per item but I would end up paying more. I was stunned at the lack of dignity I recieved here....from this worker in particular. She was rude up until I didn't want to even try anymore, at that point she told me byyeeeee have a blessed day! I had brought with me paperwork and everything to show I was disabled and in need just to get by for the remainder of the week but I felt super unwelcome.

The place is near the freeway/LA river and n industrial area. Three employees there. One middle age lady, the receptionist and a gentleman at a desk in front of a computer. The treatment while descent was not what i expected. I was given a flier with options to go for food. this place i was told was to distribute food to partners, not for the public. I was told "if you hurry, run, you can go today tuesday to a place 15 minutes from here." Maybe I did not look like I needed some eggs and bread or maybe I was expecting too much, but I imagined if i asked for help with food, I would have been given information but also told i could get something basic there. But I was not. It is a bank food after all. They must have 'something' to offer the hungry at their door. But I understand, they are there to distribute to partners, not public. Do not go there to get food, call and find other places where it is distributed to individuals rather.

It's just take a little time and effort and with a community of people you can help many more out there. Today our immediate group put together 2400 boxes to help 2400 families. It's a group effort indeed as different groups help out in different areas. We put together boxes and send them into the production assembly line where others put into the boxes nutritional items and then they are sealed shut and stacked onto pallets which are eventually transported to pantries around the area and or delivered directly to individuals. Elementary students up to adults help out. You can signup your group to take on a weekend for a great cause. You also can do it for student credit for like when colleges want to see how well rounded you are and how you impact your community. It's fun and you meet new people.
