Donations 2010

Ricky and I have been regularly bringing donations from Ambrit school and Santa Susanna to the San Egidio home base in testaccio. Sometimes we are able to engage with the people who are coming to pick up the donations, and it is very evident that they are a little embarrassed and extremely grateful.

Donations

Since September of last year (2008) I have been collecting donations at my school, at Ambrit and at my church. These donations consist mostly of blankets, clothing and pillows. Though occasionally food donations are given. I have ensured to continue on with this tradition this year.

San Egidio

Since September I have been working in a food pantry. I go every Saturday and bag food. There are only a few volunteers so they really need all the help they can get. It feels nice to know that I can make a difference. The more bags we make on Saturday means more people get fed on Monday.
At San Egidio we divide non cucina from cucina. So the products that need to be cooked go together and the products that are ready to eat are seperate. This is so we make sure that everyone who gets pasta for example has the means to cook it. If not, they get canned beans, peas or corn with bread, milk and whatever else is available. San Egidio relies almost completely on donations and so far they have been really fortunate.
Here are some pictures of me and Ricky working at the food pantry.
