On Wednesday 5/22/13 I volunteered at Feed My Starving Children in Libertyville, which is an organization that packages food and sends it to certain areas in certain countries where they need food. I had never done something like this in my life, so before I went I had no idea what to expect. I did not expect to have as much fun as I did. The experience as a whole was so amazing. I was the bagger where I held the bags while someone placed the food into them, then I weighed them to make sure that they were a certain weight to be sent out. The environment was so fun. They had music blasting and everyone was singing and dancing while packing their food. Everyone there was so kind and helped me if I had any questions, especially the staff. They are very outgoing a easy to talk to as well. I was definitely surprised with how much fun I had and how much the experience affected my life. That night we packed 80 boxes feeding over 17,000 children. I never realized that I could play such an important role in these children's lives. Driving there was about 30 minutes, then we volunteered from 8-930, and then drove back home totaling 2.5 hours!
