I was able to join this year's TELUS Day of Service and our team volunteered to help out in the Vancouver Food Bank. We were grouped three per station and we did the sorting for all the canned goods. We had to sort the canned goods into five groups - Meat&Fish, Canned Soup, Meals in a Can, Fruits&Veggies and Pasta. I ended up taping up and preparing the boxes as my two co volunteers were really good in sorting. Meals in a Can and soup was tricky, as some soup can be considered meals in a can. When it comes down to it, look at the labels, and check - if proteins is 7 (or was it 9) and above, then that'll be considered meals in a can.
I was surprised how big the warehouse was, and how it was filled up with isles and isles of food. Tiring work too, but was really fun and fulfilling. We were there for only two hours, and after which, a couple of us went to the famous Gelatto place where you'd have to pick from over a hundred different flavors! I ended up getting tiramisu, and my some of my friends got Durian! Of all flavors, ew! They even had chili chocolate and curry flavors. I tried it out... they really taste like chili and curry, but gelato style. Haha
And we're not finished yet, we had lunch in one of these cute little cafes in Commercial drive. And then off we are to go back to work! How can you go back to work mode after a morning like today??
