have gone to the Boulevard food pantry many times with my mom because she volunteers there and I go and volunteer with her. The first time I went I remember feeling scared and thinking what if these people are intimidating to me or they are mean. It turns out I was completely wrong. The clients were very nice, and appreciative that we were taking time out of our schedules to help them. The clients are always so grateful for the people that are helping them. After I had volunteered I felt like I had taken a risk to do something that was out of my comfort zone then. After that experience I felt more open minded to the clients that came because they just wanted any help they could get to find food.
