Today was my second time volunteering. I spent pretty much my entire time in the kitchen. My day consisted of going through each individual item in the pantry and refrigerator. I had to mark each item based on when it expired and threw out everything that had already expired. I threw out soooo much food! For a charity that is so efficient with its other donations, the Ronald McDonald House was seriously lacking in the food department. The problem is that when groups come in to cook, they bring their own ingredients, so the food that is already at the house just sits and wastes on the shelf.
After what seemed like forever, I finished going through the food, but then I had to bag up almost 1000 pastries donated by Panera Bread. The good thing is the families enjoy them, so they don’t go to waste.
At the end of my second day volunteering, I had only seen one family eating breakfast, but I didn't get to talk to them. I really thought that I would be spending more time with the families. Maybe next time…
