Mid-Ohio Foodbank Volunteering

I volunteered at the Mid-Ohio Foodbank with some of my sorority sisters and it is an awesome experience every time I go there. On Thursdays it is open to the public so anyone can come between 4-6 and help out. I would recommend it to everyone. There is music and the workers there are amazingly nice and they tell you how many boxes of food you have packaged. These boxes are given to low-income families. It makes you feel more of a connection to the community because you physically put together a box that will go to a family in need.

Taste of OSU

I also attended Taste of OSU earlier this year. I am a third year and have gone to this event all three years I have been at Ohio State. It's such a unique experience and I love seeing and tasting all the different foods. It makes you definitely appreciate food more because you don't really realize how much it has to do with culture and family. It is so much more than a way to feed your hunger.

Jane Goodall

I attended the event with Jane Goodall and it was amazing. I used to be obsessed with monkeys and even did a report on Jane Goodall and wanted to be her when I grew up. It was definitely an honor to hear her speak in person and she seems like such a genuine person. She is a unique and inspiring person who has offered a great deal to anthropological research. I liked the photos that she had because it made it more real.
