    SW 422L Practice II Lab (422L)

    For this Service Learning Experience I wrote about my volunteer experience at Blazer Kitchen. I expressed how great of a program this was for students, employees, faculty, and staff. I discussed the friends I've made while doing so. The most memorable moments are with the clients discussing the plans for dinner, recipes, and what kind of day they had. I love talking and engaging in conversation with others. This was a great experience for me and I got an opportunity to come out of my shell and help others and it actually helped me more than I thought it would.

    In this assignment,I have prepared some important tips for future volunteers at Blazer Kitchen. Some of the tips that I have prepared are some tips that I wished I knew before I volunteered. I learned them as I went about at Blazer Kitchen. These tips will help prepare and motivate upcoming volunteers in the near future.

    Project name: Mini recipes
    For this service learning experience, I picked recipes from foods that I have received from Blazer Kitchen and turned them into recipes such as Tuna & chicken Salad, Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwiches, Vegetable Soup, and Traditional Salad Mix. All these items are easy to fix and servings last a couple of days when portioned correctly.
