Having stayed in Virginia for a while, I was shocked that they would be holding this event in Arlington for this long. I have done community service with Capital Area Food Bank before, and this is by far one of my favorite events. Setting up the space and campuses, and just being able to bring some light, care, and joy, brought a smile to my face. The weather definitely had its conflicts, but for the most part, it was a fun shared experience. I got to meet new people and make others happy and well-fed. It feels good to be able to contribute to something as important as this.

Volunteering here was so amazing and the training was thorough and clear. It will definitely prepare me for more future opportunities to volunteer. I was also able to connect with peers and learn facts about taking care of dogs and other animals that I never thought of. An amazing experience overall!

I really enjoyed participating in the Capitol Area Food Bank as it allowed me to get a glimpse of life outside of my own, to help others, and all around gave me a good experience in volunteering. Conversing and cooperating with the people who supervised the events, while also being able to interact with the communities, was genuinely heartwarming and pushes me to want to try more when it comes to volunteering.
