I chose to volunteer at The Table of Plenty/Acterra due to the fact that both organizations help the community. The Table of Plenty definitely arose form a local need because a lot of people today do not have food to eat. Table of Plenty provides the community with food for those who can not afford it or don't have access. Acterra also arose from a local need due to the fact that we need to clean our Earth. For the organization Acterra, I believe that the local government did fill this need adequately. On the other hand, I believe the Table of Plenty is not government funded therefore they did not fill any needs. Acterra might be affected by Federal policies. However, I am not to certain about Table of Plenty.
