Meals on Wheels
Los Angeles, CA
01.2016 - 01.2018
In my younger years I helped non profits including Meals on Wheels, a service that drove around meals to the less fortunate people struggling to leave their home or afford food. As a kid being 16, this gave me insight on how many people are struggling and need people to rely on for basic essentials which I was ecstatic to help with. I tended to be the runner or packer who would either make the food or run them up while being driven around to various locations in the downtown areas of Los Angeles.
