For my practicum project, I volunteered at a food bank called Nourish Now in Rockville, MD. Usually, this food bank allows individuals to come to their facilities to pick up food and other necessities for themselves. However, due to COVID-19, Nourish Now has shifted into redistributing food and supplies to people, other food banks, etc. to minimize the risk of spreading the disease. As part of my job at Nourish Now, I do many things, including unloading food from trucks, moving the food into the warehouse, organizing the food onto shelves, fridges, and freezers, loading vehicles with food to be redistributed, making boxes with a variety of foods to be sent to families in the area, and more.
