‘A Day🗓 in the Life’ of TWO Aramark Dietetic Interns!
Two of our interns, Olivia Reeder and Jordan Schulz, volunteered at a local church for their annual tamale-making event, which helps fund many of their community outreach👨👩👧👧 programs. Each year leading up to the holidays🦃, the church prepares and sells hundreds of homemade tamales, and the proceeds support services like English classes👩🏫, food distribution for families in need, guitar🎸 lessons, basic electricity and HVAC classes, and a ministry for children with special needs.
Jordan said, “We spent the day helping with the full tamale-making process with other community volunteers. We mixed masa, filled and wrapped tamales, and prepped large batches for cooking👩🏼🍳. It was such a meaningful experience learning how much work goes into making tamales and having volunteers who grew up making them teach us. It was a great reminder of how food brings people👨👨👧👧 together and how valuable it is to learn from other cultures!"
