Dear Volunteer Coordinator:
My name is Stella Wong, and I am an 8th grader at Del Mar Middle School. I am
contacting you to inform you on my thoughts regarding the work SF Marin Food
Bank has done and how I would like to contribute to ending hunger.
The Food Bank has taken many actions to help end hunger in San Francisco and
Marin, from providing families food to holding annual events to help raise
awareness hunger. I am really glad to see your organization make so much
progress to help the people in this community. In just one week of Thanksgiving
last year, the Food Bank distributed 1 million pounds of food for up to 144,000
people. There are also many employees and volunteers who helped to make this
possible. I can see the impact SF Marin Food Bank has made through your
distribution of food to an average of 30,000 households each day, which adds up
to more than 147,000 people. This is an amazing feat that is not easily achieved.
I would be grateful if you could send employees from your organization to spend
time going to schools to raise more awareness to students about how huge of a
problem hunger is, especially in areas where its less common to experience
hunger.
In addition, I would be pleased to contribute to the SF Marin Food Bank by
volunteering at the Food Bank. I can help package food that are being sent to
households, sort donations and assemble grocery boxes.
I would like to congratulate the SF Marin Food Bank because your organization
has been a great contribution to many families in San Francisco and Marin, but I
believe more awareness should be raised in order to better alleviate hunger.
Once again, I am happy to come and volunteer as well. Thank you for reading
this letter.
Sincerely,

Stella Wong
