"I volunteer regularly at our local food bank. I feel strongly that helping others meet their basic needs assists them in improving their lifestyle in the future. I have taken on several roles over the years including food sorting and packaging, distribution, and gardening.

The work I do there is humbling and rewarding. Helping others worry a little less about where their next meal will come from is a powerful experience. I hope to become a business leader in the future with the resources necessary to have an even greater impact on the communities that need assistance."
