The Problem

I am working to end hunger in my community. The Alameda County Community Food Bank, the food bank with whom I work, serves 1 in 6 residents of Alameda County – nearly half of them children and teens. In addition to working to end hunger, I am also working to raise awareness about these issues.

Plan of Action

Every year, I distribute letters to my neighbors describing the project, and I give a list of recommended items for donation. Then, on Halloween night, I go door-to-door with a team of volunteers and we collect the food; every few blocks, my dad drives up to pick up the food and bring it to our house, where we have Food Bank barrels waiting in the driveway. Every year the project has expanded, but I continue to look for other volunteers to contribute to the project. The more volunteers, the more food we collect!
