Volunteering in Inland Valley Hope Partners brought me closer to the community and exposed me to its problems. I worked in many different places during my time here. I learned that the work of a dietitian extends beyond providing a perfectly set menu, or education on what and how to eat. I learned that sometimes dietitians may face social problems, and it is crucial to look deeper into a patient`s life to be able to help them.

 I had to extend myself out of my comfort zone, so that I could converse with people, and ask them for food donations. When I first started, I was not comfortable because people were not always willing to speak with me. However, I was persistent throughout the day, and made sure to be friendly with my approach and clear about our cause, so the food that was gathered could help as many people as possible.

I sold a lot of bread! On my first day, I did not believe all of this bread would be sold.

Also, I worked at the WIC table at the farmers’ market where I handed out coupons for people to buy fresh produce.
