How long have you been volunteeringhere? About 6 or 7 months. Since around the beginning of April.
How did youend up volunteering here? I was recovering from an illness and I had a doctor who recommended it to me as something productive to do once a week. It makes me feel better andit's good for my health. I feel moreon my feet and totally ready to get a real job now, so I'm thankfulfor that.
I graduated from Rutgers and went tomedical school before I got sick. Now, being back here and working atthe cafe, I'm feeling much better .
What's your favorite part ofvolunteering here? I'm usually with adifferent volunteer every week so I get to meet new people all the time. It's nice to meet new people and also reconnect with old peopleI know. I mostly work the grill and with the sandwich press. Theykind of found my niche, it works out well for me. I do everything out front, though: workingwith salads, soups, sandwiches, and greeting the customers. Some people here prefer towork in the back but I prefer to work in the front with the customers.
What's your favorite thing on the menu?The turkey sandwiches are really good. Ijust went on a cruise to the Bahamas and I don't want to say the foodwas bad, but I kept thinking to myself that the food here was muchbetter.
Anything else you'd like to say? I feel a sense of community whenI come here to Highland Park. The management is great in guiding me.I keep learning how to do everything better. I've even trained other volunteers.
People come for different reasons. Somepeople just get the complimentary and seem to appreciate having afree lunch, they're very thankful. I've noticed most people pay the suggested price, andmore than half give more than they're asked to. Iwas very surprised by that.
