I volunteered in community engagement at an op shop with a café, which raises funds for a local food bank that provides essential support to those in need. The most valuable aspects of this experience included meeting new people, assisting individuals facing financial hardship at the food bank, supporting customers in the shop, and gaining a deeper understanding of the challenges many in the community experience.
