During the April school holidays, Year 7 Noah Myers completed some service hours at Foodbank. This is his small reflection:

"Foodbank provides food at discounted prices for people who are struggling financially. They also send food boxes (they call them hampers) to people who do not have the best of home cooking skills or facilities to cook with. With other volunteers, we first made the boxes up. We then unpacked the food that was to be put in the box at each station from the pallets. Once we had our stock ready to go, we then worked in a production line scenario. One person would put 2 items in the box, before pushing it down to the next. At the end, someone else sealed it up and loaded onto a pallet for the trucks to take away.

We did hundreds of boxes in the 4 hours I was there. The ones I helped with were all going to centres that were north of Perth. It was really busy as we had to constantly restock so we didn’t stop the flow of the hampers being completed. I volunteered alongside other people who were very friendly. I was the only young person there, so they were happy to help me and show me how to do everything. I agreed to go back and help again as it was very rewarding to know my small contribution would make a big change to someone’s life."
