Service: Handing out fliers for Banco de Alimentos Uruguay

Hours: 1

Learning Outcome: Global engagement

I went to the DeGusto food festival and handed out fliers for Banco de Alimentos Uruguay, an organization that takes food and organizes it, then distributes it to other organizations who give the food to people who need it. I don't think giving out fliers for this at a food festival, asking people to donate, really makes sense since people aren't really bringing food that can be donated to a food festival. For this reason, I don't think that handing out fliers was really that helpful to the cause. I got there on saturday at 2pm, but they were mostly done with fliers for the day so I came back the next day (sunday), passed out fliers for an hour, had lunch, passed out a few more, and left because I felt that they didn't really need the help and I was pretty bored.
