Happy Friday, everyone!! This past week at Children’s Hunger Alliance has been wonderful and packed with exciting new experiences! I still can’t believe how close we are to finishing the fellowship.

This week was different than usual, as I started the week working from home instead of being in the office. Although working from home had its beautiful moments and challenges, it taught me the importance of time management. Now I understand how challenging it can be to manage time, especially when working from home. There are so many unique distractions that can make it difficult to stay focused. A few tools that I used to help manage my time effectively that I hope will help others are making a schedule, setting boundaries, and creating a to-do list with realistic goals in mind.

On Monday, the team and I had a bi-weekly meeting with the CHA board members to review Taste To Remember updates, which are now six weeks away! This was just our first meeting, and there are many more to come. I had the opportunity to introduce myself to the board members, and we discussed the details of the ticket sales reports, auction items, and fundraising efforts for the upcoming event in August. Although the meeting was short and sweet, it was lovely finally being able to meet some of the hardworking board members and put names to faces of the people who have dedicated a lot of time and effort to helping Children’s Hunger Alliance with the behind the scenes fundraising events such as Taste To Remember and Menu of Hope. 

I can’t believe the fellowship program has only three weeks left! Once again, I’m genuinely excited for the upcoming weeks at CHA. Next week, I have a few fundraising webinars to attend and hope to explore more volunteer engagement at CHA. I’m committed to cherishing every moment and making the most of this incredible opportunity!
