The first thing I did was volunteer at a walk for 5 hours. The organization I volunteered for is called "A Safe Way" and it is for people who get abused by their spouses. I helped set up and take down everything and I also cheered people on as they ran. It was rewarding because I got to interact with people who had gone through a tough time and also hear their stories. I felt like I was needed just to put a simple smile on someones face or to give them that extra push that they needed to finish their run.
The second thing I did was participate at Feed My Starving Children for 5 hours. Out of all the community service I have done, this has by far been my favorite. We packed food for children in Haiti and my station packed 18 boxes of food. I was the sealer at my job. I just had to seal the bags shut with a certain machine which was pretty boring, but the end result is what impacted me the most. After we were finished, we were shown how our work has impacted kids and how their lives have changed all because we packed food. It was very rewarding and going to Feed My Starving Children is something I would like to do in my free time.
