We went out to Shelby farms with a church that was here on a mission trip to hand out snacks, waters, and build relationships with the community. It was an amazing experience and I got to hear so many amazing stories.
We partnered with another church and made gift bags for faculty and students who attended Dexter Middle School. It was such a fun experience and to be able to see how excited the students and faculty were when we handed them out.
Over the course of this month, I volunteered and taught/coached basketball for middle school boys. I helped them develop fundamental basketball skills and build on the knowledge they already knew. Some of these kids are from areas of Memphis that are underprivileged areas and I was able to share the love of Jesus with them and just build relationships with people from our community.
I was able to volunteer throughout this conference by being the host of breakout sessions. I would have to make sure the rooms were set up and then broken down and also making sure the speaker in the room had everything they needed and taking head count. I also helped with serving the women at the conference and that was in multiple ways. It was such an amazing experience and I got to meet so many people.
We partnered with the Dexter Middle School staff and kids and they came onto Bellevue's campus for a field trip day. It was a part of our volunteer week and this was the volunteer event I chose to work. We spent time with kids doing arts and crafts, games, basketball, volleyball, and snack time. It was such a rewarding experience to be able to provide such a small things to these kids, and it meant so much to them.
We made Halloween cards for the kids to be able to receive on Halloween since they don’t get to go anywhere. It means so much to me to be able to give back to the hospital that did so much for me.
I was able to donate 10 personal care items(2 hours). The items donate were shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and deodorant. The items will help provide for the community who needs help.
I donated 10 items(2hours)…toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and deodorant. The items were dropped off to a lady inside and she was very nice. The items will help the people who are in need.
Every Sunday starting September 1st, I have had the privilege of volunteering for one hour(8:00 a.m.- 9:00 a.m.) with my local church by leading a group of seventh-grade girls. I have built connections with each and every one of them, and I am able to help guide them through life and give them guidance and advice whenever they need it. I also teach a lesson every Sunday with them.
