I served at Saint Michaels Soup Kitchen where I got boxes of food and delivered it to cars so people may eat. I learned to serve God humbly by making myself serve through work to those less fortunate and saw God through my service as I saw how grateful everyone was. Everyone at the service was great, instructive, and kind which allowed me to remain comfortable in service. Overall I had a great time serving and will definetly serve with Saint Michaels Food Pantry again.

During this service I helped set up chairs and tables for a Faith of Love conference at OLPH. This allowed me to serve them humbly through physical labor and give back to my church. It also allowed me to meet new people and lessen the labor of the other cleaners present. Overall I had a good time and would definitely do service there again.

During this service activity I made multiple loaves of sandwiches for the Holy Spirit food pantry to be given to the hungry. Overall this service was very enjoyable as I was able to give to the hungry and that I have worked for Holy Spirit multiple times before. This service allowed me to humbly serve those in need but to also see God in this work and all the works I have completed this quarter.

My service required me to donate blood for the CBHS Vitalant blood drive. This impacted not only the charity doing it but also the lives that will be saved through the blood donated. Though I have a distaste to needles I was able to be courageous by reminding myself of the impact blood has. Ultimately lives were saved due to the contributions of not only me but the many others who participated in the blood drive.

At Saint Mary's Soup kitchen I have already served there a couple times in the past but this one was different as I also helped distribute both food and clothing to the poor. Since it is almost winter they will need it the most as they could freeze and go hungry without it. It impacted their lives as they get to eat and get warmth in the cold.

At the event we made over 10,000 meals for the hungry. In Memphis this is crucial as many go hungry in our city which makes donating even more crucial. I feel that my impact is especially crucial as over 10,000 people fed is a huge accomplishment. I felt I served my community humbly and stood up for those who are in need of food.

It was wonderful to help out at Saint Mary's Soup Kitchen again. The people were wonderful and very helpful and it was nice to help feed the poor

It was a very helpful task to help feed the homeless who came to the soup kitchen. I personally felt rewarded for helping them directly and for helping to make the food, such as sandwiches, at Saint Mary's Soup Kitchen.
