Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement

The purpose of this project is to explore poverty and see how we as a society can aid those who are going hungry. Along with a few studies, the author also went out and made her own experiences. The author shares her experience of volunteering at the Second Harvest Food Bank of Orlando. Additionally, she informs the audience on all this organization has done in order to help the great Orlando area. It is amazing to be able to even make such a small impact on poverty and serve the community. Additionally, it is amazing the comradery that can come out of volunteering for an organization such as this one.
