Quest is a non-profit organization that collects food donations from over 300 donators and sells the products at a marked down price for people in need. There are a range of volunteering opportunities at Quest with many tasks including: preparation of meals, giving cooking lessons, food sales, re-stocking, organizing shelves, disposal of inappropriate foods, recycling, and office work. One of the group 6 members explains that working with Quest is enjoyable since the organization is relatively new, and its coordinators are open-minded towards new ideas. He also mentioned that his experience volunteering at Quest has improved skills in organization, management, and efficiency. However, some of the work may be a bit dry if done for too long (for example, opening jars of expired peanut butter, disposing of the peanut butter, and recycling the empty jars \u2013 for four hours).<\/p>\n
