Tis The Season To Spread Love

As we get ready to wind down and spend time with our loved ones; I strongly encourage you to give back however you can. I have been volunteering on and off with FoodCycle since 2019. FoodCycle is a charity in England and Wales whose mission is to end food waste, food poverty, and loneliness. FoodCycle receives food from supermarkets that can no longer be sold but the food is still edible. You can volunteer either in the kitchen where you will prepare a three course vegan or vegetarian meal or as a hostess where you can serve the meals. Personally, I enjoy being a hostess because I love interacting with people. Last month, I was pleased to have been part of the hosting team who served 59 people a delicious three course meal.

This is what life is about. It is about making the time to give back to others. I am fortunate to work for a company that allows you to take time off to volunteer for two days every year. Despite having a busy schedule, I block a half day on a Friday towards the end of the month when I know my calendar will not be too busy. This year, I volunteered in February, May, August, and November. As long as I can, I will forever bring awareness on the importance of giving back. We hear a lot about the madness that is happening in our world but equally it should be noted that there is a lot of people who are trying to pour into the world too. So promise me that you too will carve out some time to give back. Your time matters so spread the love!
