SUMMARY
Reflection
During the course of my food drive project, I learned that doing good is not always an easy task, and sacrifices must often be made to do good, but what you stand to gain in return, if it even helps just one person, is worth any sacrifice.
Project Impact
My food drive project raised around 350 pounds in non-perishable foods including soups, pasta, rice, oats, and canned fruits and vegetables. These foods will be used in various projects with the Catholic Charities, including to supply their food banks they hold twice weekly, reaching hundreds of people per week.
