Helping out at the food bank has helped me realize to aappreciate everything  I am blessed to have. I realized that not everyone is blessed with certain necessities. We all have to be grateful for everything that God has given us and be more appreciative. I loved the experience and in the future, I would love to do it again

Going to the food bank made me realize that I should be appreciative of everything that I have. I didn't realize how many people went to sleep hungry and didn't know when they would receive their next meal. We shouldn't just take things for granted. God has blessed us with many things in life, and we need to learn to appreciate them all.

The food bank made me realize what i have and what others dont have and what i take for granted. By going to the food bank i got too help people, before i used to just say we need to help people but then i actually did something about it. It was an experience i will always remember and will help me reflect on the basic things i always took for granted. God has blessed us with many things but others less then us it is our job too help others and do something to honor the mission he has given to us and accomplish it.

Going to the food bank showed me that we should be grateful for the food that we have because there are tons of people in our community struggling to find there next meal. I feel like the food bank is a great opportunity to give back to those who need it the most. Going to the food bank really opened my eyes to realize that I'm fortunate enough to have shelter, food,& water.

Going to the food bank, made me realize how much food is wasted each and everyday. we shouldn't take things for granted because some people don't have as much as we do. the experience was Christ like because as followers of God, we are supposed to help the less fortunate and those in need. This helped me realize how lucky I am to have shelter, food, and water

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that a lot of food gets wasted and that people need that food. We helped those in need by sorting out bad food from the good so we are giving back to those less fortunate than us. It changed me because now I know that I shouldn't take all the food I have for granted because there are people who need food. I will try my best to not waste any food and to try and give back to those in need more often.

What I took away from this experience is that we helped people in need of food by giving them their next meal and I learned that there are many who starve and we were able to help some of them Christ like because of us giving our time to organize good food for the poor this experience did change my life I would be more thankful of what I a have

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that I should appreciate all the things that I have and not take things for granted and that I should be thankful that I have something to eat everyday because there are others that don't even eat anything at all. The experience was Christ like because just like Jesus was able to feed the poor I was able to do the same for others. This experience has changed me, it has changed me to help those in need and volunteer more often at places like the food bank. To change my life I will help those in need and be more grateful for what I have.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that I should be more thankful for the food i have at home because there are people out there who can't afford food and get what they need. The experience was Christ like because we helped the people who need food the most so it really means a lot to them that people are going out there to help them out with the food they need. The changes i will make in my life is to atleast try to be more thankful for what i have and not take advantage of it because there are people out there who cant have the same.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that i shouldnt take for granted what i have in life because even the smallest things can help out. There are so many people in this world who take for granted food, and even family members and we shouldnt do that. This experience helped me understand all the people that need help in this world and that even little contributions can help such as our group did today. This has opened my eyes to things i never really think of on a daily basis

# data[].attributes.body
What I learned today is that I can help out with all the things we do like donating all kinds of food. Today's experience was Christ like because we got to help out the less fortunate. Today experience changed me a lot because i learned that there are a lot of people that go hungry everyday, and that we helped more than 5,000 of them. I will appreciate all the things that i have.

The trip to LA Food Bank was a memorable experience. I could take part in this activity, help full fill the need of those who are hungry and poor. In the little amount of time, we could classified food into the same items, check the breads if people can still use it or not,...This kind of service was like the way that Jesus did during his time (fed 5,000 people with five loaves and 2 fishes). I'm happy because I could do something to help our community. When I heard about the amount of stuffs that we did on that day, I felt I have more effort in doing this activity. Through this wonderful opportunity, I realize how lucky I am.

i learned that we always have food but wouldn't appreciate it, and there are others that really don't have food like we do, there's people that don't even know when's their next meal and I learned that I should appreciate what I have. I mean we helped gather food for people that are going to eat it and it was a good experience

# data[].attributes.body
What I learned about this experience is that i can do a lot to serve community. Its amazing how much my group helped out thousands of people who are in need of food. I feel like I've made a difference in the world by going to the Food Bank because not a lot of people go to the Food Bank and help out thousands of people like i did. I hope that i can go back son to again make a difference in peoples lives again.

This experience made me realize that I have always have food at home and I don't appreciate it as i should be and not wasting the food is eat. I noticed that lots of food as been thrown out each year. There's thousands of people without a home, shoes, or even food. This experience was christ like because we as a community help alot of people for a meal over 5,000 people in those in need. This makes me feel happy, warmth in my heart and my soul knowing that I help a lot of people. So they won't go hungry when they sleep. This is a wonderful opportunity to do. It has also change my life because now Im willing to put more effort on helping those in need because they need us. I'm very thankful for the community who help lots of people and hopefully come back soon!!

The lesson I took from the experience was that there a lot of people who don't have the things that they need most which is food. I learned to value what I have, what I eat because there's people who don't know when there next meal might be. This experience was Christ like because we're supposed to help others in the way helped those in need. This experience did change me because I value my food because there's many people who don't have food.

# data[].attributes.body
From going to the food bank, the lesson I took away from it was that food is often a luxury for some people no that it shouldn't be wasted. I feel like this is important because there was a lot of food that was no longer able to be used and that was upsetting. The experience was Christlike by the way we gathered as a community and combined our efforts to organize the food that would be consumed by many people. It did change me because I saw all the wasted food and I didn't like it. If I were to make a change it would be to make sure that i don't waste food.

# data[].attributes.body
The lesson I took away was that I realize I had food on my table and that's something I won't take advantage for. It was Christ like because Jesus has inspired to help others from the time he himself served many people. What we did is be just like him and he inspired us to serve others. It will change me to serve many people.

THE LESSON I TOOK AWAY FROM THE CHRISTIAN SERVICE EXPERIENCE AT THE FOOD BANK IS THAT WE SHOULDN'T TAKE THINGS FOR GRANTED. WE ARE TAUGHT TO HELP OTHERS BECAUSE WE ARE CHILDREN OF GOD.

# data[].attributes.body
The lesson i took away from the Christian service experience at the food bank is that 1 of 6 people in Los Angeles don't have food to eat or hungry. The experience Christ is very helpful for people who are hungry and need food.The experience changed me to more cherish the food we have.

# data[].attributes.body
The lesson that took away at the Christian service at the food is that we take most things granted but we are helping the ones in need to make them happy. This experience was like we are help the ones in need to have meals. I think this experience has changed me because I take thinks for granted but I am helping ones in need at the food bank to make them happy.  I think these changes will make me become a better person in the future and help those in need. Also we need to help people who have families and can't get food so at the food bank it's like we are helping the community.

I've done service at food banks and MEND several times, and I'm always happy to come back. I feel it is our central duty as Christians to help those who have been put at a disadvantage by our ever competitive society. It makes me realize time and time again that we shouldn't be only focused on ourselves because then we start to neglect those around us, resulting in the hunger and poverty many people face today. In this way the experience was Christ-like, because Christ was not focused on what was good for himself only, he cared for everyone around him no matter who they were. I want to continue doing service like this throughout my life and not just stopping at food banks. It has inspired me to do more charity work in many more forms.

The lesson I took away from my Christian service experience at the food bank was to be grateful for what's ours and help others who are less fortunate than us. Today's experience was Christ like because we shared our necessities with those who needed it the most, like Jesus did whether it was his unconditional love, time, efforts, or just prayer. I think it helped me look at things in a different way and realize that I have a lot to be thankful for.

# data[].attributes.body
At the food bank I learned that though I may do simple tasks but the time I give into it counts and helps. It was Christ like in a way that we follow what Jesus taught us, to help those in need. It's one thing to be nice but another to put your faith into work. It did change me, not only in being scarred from moldy bread, but to be thankful I have food on my table because there are people where I live who can't even eat regularly. Overall the only thing I'd change in my life is to give more time into these kinds of services because they're pretty fun!

What i learned from my experience at the LA food bank was that people can make a difference if you really put the effort into what your doing. I thought that the way we helped was Christ like because we took some of our time to help those who may not have everything we may have in our lives. This experience made me happy to know that what i was doing can change peoples live even if it is the smallest thing. I really think that it made me be a lot more grateful of the things i have in my life. Some things i will always put in my head is to always be grateful of what you receive and appreciate those who don't get as much. Im glad i took the opportunity to come to this trip because it really made me happy to know that i was actually helping someone.

# data[].attributes.body
the lesson i took from this experience is to always help others and be thankful for what we have because we never know when we will loose it. the experience was christian like because we saw we can receive but also give back which is always better. i definitely think this experience changed me because i saw things from a different perspective.

# data[].attributes.body
the lessons i took from the christian service experience at the food bank was that not only that there are homeless that need food there other people who cant afford or who are need of help to get food and i was glad to help those people who were in need. the experience was Christ like in a way because back in the time where Jesus lived he provided and help the ones who were need and if they needed guidance he was there, so like in a way we were actually spreading the love of Christ by helping others in need. the experience changed me a lot because now i know that i should be grateful of what i have because there are some people that dont have food, house or even companionship in most cases. the changes i will make in my life will be that to start helping others and to start being more open minded to things and just be there for others we they need help.

# data[].attributes.body
What I learned today was that I am very fortunate to have food on my table because not everyone can. I think it was a great experience because it really makes you appreciate what you have and that you have to be thankful for what you have. Todays experience was also Christ like because Jesus taught us to help those in need and that exactly what we did today.

# data[].attributes.body
This was my first time doing the food bank and i learned many things from it. I learned that so many people are in need in this world and we even if it was in small ways, helped them. The experience was Christ like because just as Jesus served others, I today served others as well. It helped me change by being grateful by everything that goes to my table and everything my family provides me. To be grateful that i have a roof and food in my fridge. As well as to always help others just as Christ did.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that today day we helped many people that don't have food to eat. I liked this experience because I helped people that don't have food get food at least for a day. That day felt Christmas like because Christmas will help anyone who is in need. Christmas will always be there for anyone to help them.

# data[].attributes.body
The lesson I took from going to the food bank is I learned to be more thankful for what I have. The experience at the food bank was Christ like because I learned to help others that are in need and it showed me that I should not just care about myself but about others. Yes, definitely this experience changed and showed me to appreciate the clothes and the food that I have.  The changes I will make in my life is to actually start helping and volunteering in helping other people.

I learned that the amount of hard work you put into a job, show, or anything is mostly shown in the end.  You won't really find out what you did until the end of it. Whether that is in death, or at the end of a task. Todays experience was Christ like because I think in the end we were mostly tired. I actually slept in the bus. In the same way Jesus, when he was hurt a lot in the station of the cross, felt tired and "went to sleep" for three days. And all the hard work he did changed this whole world. It made me want to work smarter. I will make no changes in my life because change will happen gradually and I hope to realize I changed

# data[].attributes.body
The lesson I learned was to appreciate the things our parents or anyone gives us because there are people who have less and we complain in not having what just came in  phone , music cloths, ext.. We know when our next Meal  we can open the refrigerator and there is the food . We don't suffer from hunger mean while others do.  Just by being there for a  couple hours can make the difference in who will receive a meal. I liked how It opened my eyes in there are people who need and not just want to have and just cherish what I have

# data[].attributes.body
The main thing I took away from this experience in the food bank is that just a few hours of helping can do so much for the less fortunate. No matter how little or how much time you devote, everything helps. Today`s experience was Christ-like because Christ once said "For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink..." (Mat 25:35) and that is exactly what we did. Today's experience did not necessarily change me, but it did show me how important it is to help and serve others. I think this trip changed my attitude towards helping others whether its the less fortunate, or my family members.
