On March 6th, I volunteered at the Maryland Food Bank in Baltimore, MD, amongst other volunteers. I made numerous boxes so that non-perishable items could be placed in them and shipped to those in need. I greatly enjoyed this experience, as I always do with the Maryland Food Bank, and it was fun to get to know the other volunteers!

Today I donated 20 items to the church! Below are the items that were donated:
x7 Gerber Baby Food
x2 Microwaveable Kraft Mac N Cheese
x2 Canned Fruit
x5 Canned Chef Boyardee
x1 Microwaveble Oatmeal
x1 Microwaveable Grits

x2 Pancake Syrup

I had the pleasure of volunteering for the FIRST Lego League Season Kickoff event. As a volunteer, I served as a moderator and helped monitor the Zoom chat for any questions, notify participants of reminders, and ensure that everything ran smoothly. In addition to being a moderator, it was awesome to see all of the young students be so engaged in FIRST robotics and STEAM overall!

I had a fantastic time helping the warehouse sort and pack meat products at the Maryland Food Bank. It means a lot to me to make any type of impact when it comes to assisting the less fortunate.

Attended a biweekly facilitation meeting to discuss upcoming events for the semester.

On February 20th, the Dowdy Outreach Program held a shadowing day where several local high school students could shadow different college courses and participate in several college preparatory workshops. I had an amazing time getting to know the different students and learning about their different passions.
