Students Sort Food for Second Harvest

A special thank you and your staff for the great experience yesterday volunteering at your organization. Your staff were patient and very encouraging with the students. The sorting, packing and weighing of food, making of boxes,... were valuable teamwork exercises for the students. I think they learned a lot from this volunteer opportunity. Afterwards the students felt very positive / great about themselves and the hard work that they did.

We thoroughly enjoyed it!

I would like to bring some of the same and / or other students next semester and next year, to volunteer at Second Harvest again.

The confirmation letters you sent out will be something students can show their family members and then put into their portfolios for keeping track of their community hours.

I hope your expansion to make your location larger goes smoothly without too much stress for you and your staff.

Again, thank you and your staff for this great experience!
