Why YOU should do
community service
Community service has really
taught me how important it is
to give back to your community.
You really see what life is like
for those less fortunate and
your perspective shifts.
Everything in life is about
people, so everyone should
make an effort to help those
not as fortunate.

WORKING WITH ROTARY FOOD DRIVE
“Volunteering for Rotary Food Drive was a really moving experience,”
says local resident Trevor Mendola, “I worked alongside members of the
Cranberry Sunrise Rotary Club, and met many kind people.” When asked
what kind of service Mr. Mendola performed, he replied, “Well, I would
go out on Saturday morning and collect donations at different locations
and then we’d meet up at Gleaners Food Bank in Cranberry and, like,
organize the donations and stuff. Then we would go to, uh, different
residencies and stuff and give out the donations we had.” He also
mentioned how independent he felt, “Yea, I was driving around on my own
to all these different locations, hauling food and stuff. It really made it
feel like I was doing a lot, and it made helping people feel that much
better.” Truly inspiring.
WORKING WITH GREATER PITTSBURGH FOOD BANK
“As for as my work for Greater Pittsburgh Food Bank, it was much
less mobile, but still equally satisfying. I was at the facility just
helping out wherever needed. We would take in donations, organize
them, get them all sorted out to be taken out and distributed, that
kinda stuff. I enjoyed the experience all the same though,” Mr.
Mendola said, “I didn’t get as personal of an experience as I did with
Rotary, but I still new what I was doing helped people.”
