I've volunteered as a group three times here at the Yolo Food Bank warehouse and operations…read morefacility in Woodland: first with Novozymes in November 2015, again with Bayer in January 2019, and most recently representing Nuseed in July 2023. Not only is it a great community service, but also a great teambuilding activity. The opportunity we had was specifically for packing fresh produce boxes along a conveyor belt to be delivered for free to hundreds of Eat Home Yolo senior, low-income, mobility-restricted, homebound households via home delivery or community distributions. YFB serves not only just major areas like Woodland, West Sacramento, Clarksburg, Winters, Davis, UC Davis, North Yolo, and Capay Valley but also more rural locations such as Esparto, Knights Landing, or Dunnigan. Volunteer Coordinator Natalie provided all guidance. Sign the waiver, get a nametag, close-toed shoes, gloves, hang up personal items, and grab a bottle of water! Bathrooms available, large industrial fan to stay cool inside the warehouse, could take breaks as needed. We were tasked with assembling and packing boxes, each containing one cauliflower, 10-12 potatoes, apples, onions, and apricots. These would be distributed along with canned/dried goods such as rice, beans, protein powder, etc. In an assembly-line fashion, we had 4 people folding boxes, 1 person on the cauliflower station, 2 on potatoes, 2 on apples, 1 on onions, 1 on apricots, 1 closing and stacking boxes, 1 on replenishing the tables, 1 photographer/floater. Initially, I was helping with replenishment but got reassigned to potatoes. No joke, the bags/boxes of produce we're dealing with prior to packing are anywhere from 24-50 pounds each! When we were finished we also sprayed down the tables, tore down the source cardboard boxes, and swept the floor. Up to 96 boxes per pallet (4x3x8) --15 pounds each -- our team of 14 people completed packing 239 boxes in under an hour! For this type of volunteering, you must be age 12+ (minors must attend with an adult chaperone), close-toed shoes required, not outdoors, not wheelchair-accessible, requires you to stand/walk on concrete, recommended to dress in layers, and must be able to lift 2-15 pounds repeatedly, and life 30-50 pounds occasionally. Other types of opportunities include Planting & Harvest at River Garden Farms, Produce Packing, Drive-Thru Distributions, Dry Product Packing, Kid's Farmers Market, or being a volunteer driver for home deliveries. What's neat is that this follows the crop cycle from harvesting to packing and then distributing! They also accept food and monetary donations if you can't devote your time onsite.

I have been coming to Woodland Strides as an undergraduate volunteer and working with Amy Oettle…read more Amy is absolutely amazing with kids, parents, volunteers, students, horses, you name it! I have worked with Amy with multiple different clients and have seen so much progress and growth in all of them. I think that Amy does a great job connecting with parents and providing parent education before, during, and after sessions so parents are aware of how OT and hippotherapy are helping their child, and I've heard many grateful and positive feedback from parents and caregivers. Amy also makes OT fun for the clients! Clients enjoy playing games, making crafts, and learning horseback riding all while improving gross and visuomotor skills, fine motor skills, core strength, emotion regulation, body awareness, and executive functioning. Amy takes the time to make sure that I am learning constantly and getting the most out of my volunteer experience and really solidified my knowledge and passion in the field of occupational therapy. I enjoy coming back every week to connect with the kids and watch them grow. Two of my favorite moments were listening to a client excitedly tell Amy and me about all the progress he had made over the past week in between sessions and how he had applied his skills at school. Another moment was really heartwarming when we saw a client go out of his comfort zone and try a new food. Emily is amazing as well, and is a key part of the hippotherapy sessions. I really enjoy working with her and she is excellent in handling the horses, keeping the clients safe while riding, and emphasizing the importance of communicating respectfully before, during, and after riding.
