    I have loved working with Blazer Kitchen. It has given me a lot of opportunities to talk to social workers, understand the workflow, and get an idea of what my day-to-day life might look like. I love helping unload the truck on Tuesdays. I feel most productive when unloading trucks or helping customers shop. I have really enjoyed helping clients shop because I get to build a small connection while shopping with each person. I would say some challenge with the job is having to set boundaries with what clients can or not have. Another challenge is the physical labor during the truck. I enjoy the little workout and I am often sore the next day. Key takeaways have been understanding the bigger picture of how they make this possible, what it takes to keep it running, and how important each person's role is.
