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.

After I finished that I went to help one of the other volunteers outside where we were handing out more food.

After everyone was gone I helped clean up.
