Volunteering at the Houston Food Bank with the Young Professionals in Transportation (YPT) Houston chapter was an incredible experience that not only helped those in need in our community, but also brought our YPT members closer together.
On a calm Tuesday evening, we gathered at the Houston Food Bank with one goal in mind: to help our community by packing lentils into pallets that would eventually be turned into meals for the hungry. We were excited to get started, and after a brief orientation and safety briefing, we got to work.
As we worked, we talked and laughed together, getting to know each other better and bonding over the shared experience of helping others. It was inspiring to see the impact that we could have by working together, and it was a humbling reminder of the importance of giving back to our community.
We packed lentils for several hours, and before we knew it, it was time to wrap up our volunteering session. We were proud of what we had accomplished, and we left feeling fulfilled and happy knowing that we had made a difference.
Volunteering with the YPT Houston chapter at the Houston Food Bank was a great way to not only help others, but also to connect with like-minded individuals who share a passion for community service and making a difference in our community. We had a wonderful time mingling with other YPT members and learning more about their backgrounds and experiences.
In conclusion, volunteering at the Houston Food Bank with the YPT Houston chapter was an incredible experience that left a lasting impact on us all. We hope to continue volunteering with YPT and other organizations to make a difference in our community and help those in need.
