Action: -Unloaded food from the delivery truck
             -Packed bags with the food

Next Action: I finished my community service hours, but have to return to Mater Dolorosa next week to have my mentor sign papers for me

How Am I Doing? I arrived at Mater Dolorosa for my last day of community service. When the delivery truck arrived I had to help unload most of the food. This week was really crazy because there was so much food. This was great because people were getting so much food, but it was hard packing all that food.
       I then helped load up the car with all the food. We then went to the same apartment complex as the last few week. I had to deliver half of the food myself. After I was done we all met in the lobby and left.

Day 5 of Community Service

Date of Service: March 19, 2011     Time Spent: 4 Hours     Total Time: 13 Hours

Action: -Unloaded food from the truck
             -Set up food on tables
             -Handed out bags of food to people

Next Action: On Tuesday I'll be back at Mater Dolorosa packing bags of food and finishing up my community service hours.

How Am I Doing?: I arrived at the Hillside Church of God at 8 o'clock and found I was one of the only volunteers there because of the rain. So this meant I had to move a majority of the food inside the building. After all of the food was inside we started to place the boxes around the room at the tables they would be handed out at. I then helped setup cans of food on one of the tables.
         After I finished that I went to help one of the other volunteers outside where we were handing out more food. While we were outside it started to rain which made things a little difficult but didn't stop us. I was taking peoples tickets and giving them plastic bags to hold their food. After everyone was gone I helped clean up.
