As parliamentarian of my schools National Honor Society I work with the other E-Board members to coordinate the years NHS run events. The past two weeks, we have been running a food drive. All the food collected goes to families in the school district, so its nice to know we are helping the community. Even though my school is in a nice area with mostly middle-class families, there are still people who struggle. To protect the confidentiality of students, only administration knows where the food is going.
Once we have collected all the food, we will sort the food into groups such as vegetables, fruit, soup, etc.. then make boxes with equal amounts of food from each category, for each of the families. A food drive of this size requires a lot of help from the entire NHS, but everyone is willing to help.
I encourage you to start a food drive in your school or community. You'd be surprised how many people around you actually struggle to get food everyday. It's a great feeling knowing I'm helping families in my community.
