5 Overall Experience   
Very Satisfying Experience

Positive experience directly helping folks on need. This was my first volunteer effort. Was a bit surprised that there was no "Thank You" or recognition from the organization at all for my small effort but then I remembered that so many of the people I helped distribute the food to said those words over and over. That is what made the experience so great. posted on September 2, 2005

5 Overall Experience   
I would recommend SHFB volunteer activities to anyone.

Served as Secretary/Treasurer and on Personnel and Finance Committee. Participated in food drives and client surveys. Helped me understand budget processes better. Developed relationships with staff and other volunteers. All in all, it was a great experience!!! posted by ejubon on January 17, 2005
