Service Project

I did my service project hours at the Shepherd Place.  For those of you who are not familiar with the agency, it is a homeless shelter for women and children.  I completed the project over the course of three days. My duties included, sorting clothing and food, a case management intake, and visiting with the residents.

I have a strong desire to help for these individuals, because they tend to be shunned from society.  Many of them are the victims of domestic violence, loss of employment, or they simply made the wrong choices.  While some may not want to better themselves, others try very hard to turn their situation around and make a better life for themselves and their children.  This is the third time I have worked with the homeless and found each opportunity rewarding. For confidentiality reasons, I was unable to share photos of my experience. ~M.
