On December 11, 2021, Shine City Project volunteered with The Just One Project. The Just One Project is a local, non-profit organization that connects people through its mobile food pantry, providing and delivering groceries to food-insecure individuals and families across Southern Nevada.
Shine City Project’s eight volunteers went to Bridger Middle School, one of the 13 locations The Just One Project holds its “Pop Up & Give” program to distribute food every month. The volunteers helped to unload and organize boxes of food items onto pallets, then divided into several roles to help with the distribution. For the distribution event, cars queued in two lines, one on each side of the food pallets. Before receiving food, information about household size and income had to be collected in order to determine the amount of food they were eligible to receive. Four Shine City Project volunteers were responsible for walking with clipboards and gathering the required information. Afterwards, once information was collected and quantity determined, cars made their way along each of the food pallets where volunteers placed food inside the trunks. Three Shine City volunteers worked with other volunteers to help pass out ham, cereal, tortillas, cheese, milk, and eggs. After receiving their goods and reaching the end, the cars had their trunks closed and were ready to head home! The eighth Shine City Project volunteer helped to direct traffic, making sure that cars didn't crash into each other while merging into one lane.
