We had a cozy group of ten students help at a food bank at Community Servings, which serves nutrition meals to the greater Boston area. While there, we helped organize salads, and even got to bake cookies on a large scale — definitely a new experience seeing all those big machines. We learned a ton about the behind-the-scenes work that is so essential to all the good we do out in the field.

Revana Awadallah (D22) reflects: “Community Servings was a wonderful way to bond with my classmates outside of school in a way where we were able help people who need it the most. Definitely going back soon!”
Elizabeth Banister (D22) reflects: “I had so much fun volunteering with my classmates at Community Servings, that I forgot I was volunteering. I’m grateful that I got to be part of the work this organization is doing for the community.”
Sarina Shafiyan-Rad (D22) reflects: “After having nutrition last semester, we all know how important a patient’s nutrition is to their overall health. It was amazing to support an organization that puts so much emphasis on a public health issue that’s unfortunately often overlooked.”
