Cedric has been interning at Martha's Table February 2012. He began assisting in the Food Program, but has moved on to helping in the thrift store, volunteer program and daycare. Cedric has an obvious drive, is an extremely hard worker and is always optimistically willing to help with any task.  He has become a great asset and a friend to the staff at Martha's Table. 

Why did you get involved originally, what made you want to volunteer and why Martha's Table?

In high school, St. John's CHS, we did a lot of canned food drives through Martha's table. They would always give us information about the organization and I've always admired the work that happened here. Also in high school, I was involved in a program that took us to volunteer with Martha's Table for a day. I worked in the food prep area making sandwiches. Everyone was so friendly, and left a lasting impression on me so this summer I decided to get involved in helping my community, Martha's Table was my first choice.  

Is there a moment that stands out in your mind about your volunteer experience, with another volunteer or with our staff?

All experiences with Martha's Table have been great but one that stands out particularly would have to be the first time I went out on McKenna's Wagon. Actually seeing the clients first hand, being able to give them their meal and seeing the smiles on their faces was an incredible experience.
