I organized my grandparents food pantry and refrigerator. Since they are older they can't be on their feet that much and they had some expired food so I offered to clean out their fridge and pantry and completely reorganize it. It's now much easier for them to see what they are looking for/need.
I helped the team at PwC organize program for inner-city high school kids in Kansas City. This program was phenomenal to be a part of because we brought in high schoolers interested in business/finance to talk to them about public accounting. We had several stations about technology, resume, colleges, and leadership. We catered breakfast and lunch and I was in charge of setting up and making sure the program went smoothly.
I worked a volleyball practice and split it into team building exercises and skills based workshops. During the team building portion I brought colored construction paper for the girls to each write something they truly admired about their teammates, then let them keep their paper with their name on it as a reminder that everyone on the team believes in them. For the skills-based portion we worked a lot on defense and transitioning.
My whole family participated in community service as a gift to my Papa for Christmas. We sorted through the frozen foods and worked really hard.
What a great workout for a great cause! So glad I was able to participate and donate to Breast Cancer Awareness and Education.
We decorated Halloween bags for children. We then stuffed the bags with candy and activities for those kids who can't consume the candy. It was a great activity to show our support for kids. We also pooled some money together to go towards buying camping equipment for the homeless.
I think the organization offers great opportunities for children to go, but at sometimes I did not feel that it was an encouraging environment. I was there to tutor and there were never clear instructions on who I should be helping or what everyone should be doing.
Some members of my sorority attended this service event and we had a BLAST! So happy I had the opportunity to help out the Yvonne Richardson Center and I look forward to working with them again.
We gathered to make hand made bookmarks for the children at the Yvonne Richardson Center.
