3. NCUE, through its required general education course, "Life Exploration, Development, and Practice," collaborated with the Food Bank to organize free volunteer activities. These activities included guided tours that helped students understand the importance of food and related knowledge. The volunteer work involved repackaging supplies, encouraging students to empathize with the feelings of children from disadvantaged families receiving gifts.
