Volunteering Fever...Catch It!
Here are a few comments from volunteers who pitched in with me at Union Mission in July:
Being here challenged my views on homelessness greatly. My actions that usually take place when I see a homeless person are a glance and then a turn of the head, but those actions are changed now. Next time I will glance a little longer, try to catch their eye and ask them, "how are you today" because sometimes just a simple question could make their day. ~Emma R.
...passion and love for helping others is infectious...pulling weeds, cleaning warehouses, whatever I did, it was an amazing feeling to know my actions have improved the lives of someone in need.
~ Kylie McC
I hope these words encourage us all to keep giving back and see the whole person in everyone!
