North Texas Food Bank Dallas Volunteer

North Texas Food Bank Volunteers

"As the pandemic continued to cause food shortages, there was a need for volunteers. Donation Smile, Natalie Alkalay, took it upon herself to volunteer at the North Texas Food Bank. There she helped package about 1500 boxes of shelf-stable food. "Community service is essential in learning compassion, selflessness, and patience. The act of volunteering comes from within oneself; happiness does not come from receiving, but from giving."
