I attended a service event at Interfaith Ministries, and helped to assemble packages for people who do not have reliable access to food. This experience required collaboration because I worked which a group of students from National Honor Society in an assembly line to create food packages, and organized the items so that they are prepared for people to receive. Additionally, we needed to communicate with each other to ensure that we had enough of each item which the packages required. This fulfills the service and action aspects of CAS because around 1300 people rely on these food packages as their primary source of food for the week, and the work of volunteer groups is essential for ensuring that people receive what they need. Also, this required physical activity because we worked for over two hours, and carried crates filled with supplies, as well as the finished packages of food into the loading area of the building. This event fulfills the Learning Outcome: Demonstrate the skills and recognize the benefits of working collaboratively, because successfully volunteering at Interfaith Ministries required constant communication and joint effort between all of the students who attended the event.
