Meadowlark Meals Observation Report

Our group decided to participate in Little Event for our community service task. We chose this because it was already organized, and it was a guaranteed four hours. Upon arriving to Little Event, our coordinator had texted us what the tasks were going to be and told us her expectations from us as a group. Beforehand we knew we were going to be sweeping and picking up leaves and trash from outside a local elementary school. Although it was difficult waking up so early, we all got to UCO on time and were ready to go.

Moreover, I often volunteer to do service in my community. I have been doing volunteer work for Walk for Hunger since from 2011. Also I participate many times in school food bank, which school donates food to families who need help. It was a wonderful experience because I was able to help out my community in a positive way. I like to be there for people who are in need because it shows people that I am a caring and loving them.

For my third trimester service project, I provided help to my school. I went to daycare for two hours helping Mrs. Riley. I helped kindergarteners with their homework inside so that they wouldn’t have any homework to do when they got home. I also helped run a couple games and make sure everyone was making smart decisions on the playground. I then helped Ms. Maynes in the 5th grade classroom for two hours as well. I helped her with cleaning the students desks, I helped with correcting papers and putting them in numerical order, I finished coloring a Mary drawing to put on the bulletin board, and I also helped punch out some letters so she can use them in the classroom. Ms. Maynes was also kind enough to bring me down to the Kindergarten classroom

At New Hope Ministries I had an opportunity to Work in the food pantry, where I sorted and packed food for donation. At New Hope Ministries, I learned about the procedures for sorting, storage, and prioritizing donation food with regard to its durability. Apart from the new experience I gained, I had a chance to serve others, who were in need. This was a gratifying moment for me because I have

When lunch boxes first came out they were actually metal boxes to store your food in. The first lunch boxes were usually old recycled tobacco boxes. After a while, kids started to want to bring their own lunches to school with them. The first commercial lunch box was starring mickey mouse. In the golden age (1950s-1970s) decorating lunch boxes with pop culture had started to happen. Later on, the metal lunch box had soon gone out of business because people had started to make plastic lunch boxes, which were cheaper to make. The polyester bag had become even more popular because it was easily stored in many different places. People believe that the evolution of lunch boxes will have grown enough to be able to heat up your lunch if it is necessary,

Volunteering at the Food Bank in Lee MA. has been very fulfilling to me. A lot of people believe volunteering is a waste of time, but to the people that come to the Food Bank, it means the world to some of them. For me, giving my time to help these people is an incredible feeling. It makes me feel like I am doing something that is so important and life changing. To see the people at the food bank smiling and thank you, when you hand them the bags of food it makes me really feel special to be doing this.

The first site where I completed community service was at Project Just Because. Project just because is a local relief center for my hometown community, Hopkinton. They contain many projects that are dedicated to helping as many men, women and children as possible, while providing dignity and love from the heart in a caring environment. It is their goal to help families by being a resource for items that families need, while creating an element of hope for a brighter tomorrow. Additionally, they strive to educate families that want to help people but don’t know how.

When I was chapter president of my Rainbow Girls assembly, my service project for the time being was the Animal Shelter. I believe that the shelter really helped our girls become more involved in the community. It was a way that the girls could take on responsibility for the animals and the girls that are shyer could help the community without having to interact with too many other people. I wanted to go back to the shelter for my senior project because it had already helped the original foundation of my project so much.

For my service project, I decided to help the Roy High School math department. To be more specific, Mrs. Kersey. She has been working at Roy High for 30+ years and she is retiring this year. I decided to help her pack her room up for her move out. She has always been very supportive to all of us Marching Band/Colorguard members, and all of the students in extracurricular activities. Always making a major effort to help us make things up. I chose to help her because she has been so helpful to all of us here at Roy High that has her. She has been such a helpful teacher to many people and I believe overall she will really be missed.

My service learning project his semester was fulfilled at Miracle Hill Ministries. Every November, Miracle Hill Ministries provides a Thanksgiving meal to their various facilities including their shelters, drug rehabs, children’s homes, and even their foster homes. This semester I was provided the opportunity to help provide and volunteer at the Great Possible Turkey Fry held at the Spartanburg Rescue Mission. I chose this event as my practicum project because it was a great need at the Administrative Offices. Because Miracle Hill Ministries is a non-profit organization, this event is fulfilled through the donations and the volunteerism of the South Carolina community. This need was brought to my attention soon after I started my practicum hours.

A significant service experience that I have accomplished in my life are the Little Arrow Volleyball Camps. I have done the camps for 3 years and loved it each time. I helped the kids with drills and learning basic movements in volleyball. Multiple times I was in charge of a team of kids to play against a different teams. I showed them how to do simple plays and how to different techniques. Each you the kids always have a great time because I and others make it fun for them. The camp last for three days and the kids get better and better as the days move on. I am very energetic and excited which makes the kids happy to be there and when they score a point! On the last day we all got to play some fun games and eat some ice cream; we also competed

For my individual service project, for National Junior Honor Society, I volunteered at Elijah’s Promise on the dates of March 1,2016, March 3,2016, March 8,2016, March 15,2016, ands March 16,2016. Elijah’s Promise is an organization created to help feed the poor. I wanted to volunteer at a soup kitchen,like Elijah’s Promise, because I feel that the biggest problem in our society is hunger. I wanted to help the organization as much as possible to give back to the community. I had to perform many various jobs, I gained a new and different experience, and the organization benefited from my volunteering.

For my service learning experience, I had to volunteer at two places, due to some issues I had at one of the volunteer sites. Both sites served as a great learning experience to me and I really enjoyed what time I got to spend at each of the sites. Both sites were there to provide support to those who had some sort of disability and help them lead a more independent life. Each site did amazing work with their clients and I am exceptionally happy to see places like this in our community.

I volunteered for Habitat for Humanity in part of my religious community from reference of my pastor to assist construction of a house to provide housing to people who are homeless and are in need of a home. Habitat for Humanity vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live. This had a big significance to me because this made me realize that everyone requires a decent, affordable place to live regardless of race, religion, age, gender,

I volunteered at the Moore Food & Resource Center. According to their website, their goal as a charity is to distribute food freely among individuals that struggle with hunger. They feed more than 126,000 hungry Oklahomans a week, 37 percent of which are children. One in four children and one in six adults struggle with hunger. I have decided to work three hours with them to help them out with their cause. I chose to do this because I have witnessed friends, family, and other people in my life that can barely afford a basic human need such as food, and it pains me to see them this way. I wanted to help participate in feeding those who do not have the luxury to afford much food for themselves. It is a sad thing in a world, one of great suffering in many individuals.
