    On this day, we did something very different from the norm. We did sort donations but it was not food but unwanted merchandise. The purpose was to just check what was "passable" and leave it in the box it came from while throwing anything else away. The purpose of this was to look for rubbing alcohol which was a request the food bank were ask to do. I personally had fun since every box or so I inspected I played with some of the toys that were in the boxes and I felt like a kid with no worries once again for a brief moment.

    That day, we sorted bread, and pastries of any sort into boxes and weigh them. This was something I was unfamiliar with so I struggled in the beginning but I got the hang of it after a while.

    This week was sorting frozen foods. Even though I was sick, I still manage to handle the chilliness of the food I was insepcting

    Most of the food inspected was thrown out since that day, the food inspected was donated from stores/companies who had no use for it anymore

    I had fun sorting donations since the people were really friendly towards everybody.

    I helped with inspection of donated goods that met specific standards. It was a slow Monday morning but everything went well. I had experience volunteers as reference as to which goods were allowed to pass so that was helpful.

    I helped in the transition of donated food in getting to the inspectors or in other words I helped in the “expedite”. This required some physical labor and being on constant alert to see which tables were available to take more donated food for inspection. I had fun since it got my blood flowing.
