Reading

Every Wednesday evening, Farah volunteers at a local charity that collects and distributes food to families who need extra support. Her job is usually to sort donated food into boxes according to what type of food it is, such as tinned goods, fresh vegetables, or bread. Last week, the charity received an unusually large donation from a nearby supermarket, so Farah and the other volunteers had to work an extra hour to sort everything before it went to waste. Farah says the most rewarding part of volunteering is meeting the families who collect the food boxes, since many of them are always grateful and friendly.
