I went to Community Servings on March 2nd. Miyo recommended me from the student service center. She made an appointment for us to do this volunteer. I did at Community Servings mainly to put food in containers like a box meal. Concretely, I topped sauce on chicken, like that. For who? Of course, poverty, low-income family, homeless, malnutrition, children, and so on. This community Serving is a non-profit food and nutrition program providing services. Their mission is “to actively engage the community to provide scratch-made medically tailored meals to individuals and their families experiencing critical or chronic illness and nutrition insecurity. We commit, in all our programs and business practices, to prioritize racial and economic justice and health equity.” That means they contribute to Zero Hunger and No poverty of SDGs. Employees and some volunteers pack many box meals at this place, then deliver food-filled bags to people in need of food around the area.
I made more than 240 meal boxes for about three hours. Other volunteers made many of them expect ours. It divides shifts from 9 am to 1 pm, from 1 pm to 4 pm, and from 4 pm to 7 pm on the weekday. I wonder how many meal boxes can make one day because we can make it in a short time. And, I was surprised that many people do not have enough meals more than I expected. They said the number of lost job people increased due to COVID-19, so many were in trouble with food. I want to ask which area of Massachusetts people want food. I recommend this place to anyone who leaned Zero hunger.
