This week has been very interesting. I loved hearing all the oral reports on the different organizations the class was interning at. It was very  rewarding as a whole to hear what the class thought was effective and what wasn’t. Hearing all the different positives and negatives makes me want to try to come together and find some solutions to these issues. One that really made me uneasy was one of the Youth shelters get tons of can donations yet they still go out and buy groceries to make meals when they could be planning meals based off what they have in their pantry. The organization is wasting money that could be used elsewhere. If they are not going to use the food they are donated they should donate it to a organization that will before the food expires. I know for a fact if they donated it to Youth Hope it would be gone so fast. Food never stays on those shelves. The youth are so grateful when they get any food canned or not. It is a matter if you make meals according to what you have using available resources.
