Service hours this month: 6
Total service hours: 6
As we reach the end of March, we have less than a month of
classes to go. The NBME exam will be a good test of our knowledge to end the program.
I am glad to review everything we have learned because I know that I do not
remember all of it (haha). I am looking forward to graduation at the end of May
and taking some time to relax this summer.
Earlier this month, I volunteered through Second Harvest at
Giving Hope NOLA Food Pantry in New Orleans East. I worked there 9am-3pm along
with other volunteers and employees. We began the day by unloading and storing palettes
of food from delivery trucks. After that we packaged food together into boxes
so that they could be distributed later (picture attached below). For the rest
of the day, we helped load the boxes of food into the cars of those picking them
up. Food pantries like this one provide a very important service to our
community, and it felt great to know that I was helping a good cause. I always
enjoy getting the chance to meet new people in our community. I haven’t figured
out what I will do for the rest of my service hours in April, but I may decide
to volunteer there again.
