Two years ago the food bank gave out over 20 millions pounds of food to shelters, pantries, soup kitchens and various programs for people in need. Brittany Boynton, stu dent, had the pleasure of volunteering with the Food Bank of North Carolina. Brittany remariced that the driving force that led her to work with the food bank was that she knew how it felt to be homeless and how hard it was to get food. In Boynton period of homelessness, churches and organizations like the Food Bank provided for her fam- ily. Volunteering with the Food Bank was her way of givii^ back to the commu nity as they had given to her family. She encourages other students to take advantage of this opportunity because and how it strengthens one's relationship with God because "you see Him at work through other peo ple.” Brittany said it was fun because you build charac ter, and people have a chance to work with others from different socieconom- ic backgrounds. Boynton felt that this experience was a team effort because no one could do his or her par ticular job efficiently unless everyone was cooperating. This year Boynton has been more involved with other volunteer opportuni ties like the Latta House and promotes others to try a variety of volunteer opportunities that best suit them.
