This year in AVID, all 8th grade students went on a trip to the Milpitas Pantry. This field trip for AVID wasn’t just to go look around and a have the day off, it had a purpose. As AVID students, we were given the assignment to create a video, along with three classmates, that explained the benefits of donating, or not, to the Milpitas Food Pantry. Our video would then be shared throughout TRMS and everyone would get to see. From watching the videos, Students learn that donating to the Jack Emery Food Drive, which goes to the Food Pantry, can make a major difference in someone’s life.

    “A Place at the Table” is a documentary about the millions of Americans that are on the food stamp program. This group of people has been growing at a depressing rate for the last few decades. The film begins with exterior shots of various big cities in the U.S, before coming to a smaller one, Collbran, Colorado, rural town comprised of humble, needy people who are struggling to find the next meal. We see a church leader recall how when he began giving out warm meals to the public, where anyone can come and get a free meal, on Wednesday night, and an astounding 120 people showed up. It was a sign that a large number of people in Collbran were hungry and needing help. Coming from a community where everyone had what they needed this really shocked me.

  • What Volunteering Can Teach You

    950 Words  | 2 Pages

    Volunteering enables an individual to make a positive impact on his or her community, while empowering the individual to better his or her life. This summer, I had the opportunity to volunteer at many diverse locations. From the hospital to the local library, I truly value my experience and treasure everything it has thought me. Volunteering lets us experience and learn things that we otherwise would not have learned; volunteering opens doors for us that we may not have been able to open before. Volunteering provides us with guidance and tolerance which we may use in the future to aid us in our decisions. At first glance, volunteering may seem to only benefit those who are helped, but on a deeper level, one can realize that volunteering benefits the volunteer as much as, if not more than, those who are helped. Not only does volunteering make a difference in one’s community, but it also helps the volunteer become a smarter, happier, friendlier and more caring individual.
