I raised money for scholarships to camp; helping hundreds of kids come to camp that would be unable to afford it otherwise. Development of a diverse staff was important to me.

The charity I picked to receive the $1000 is Matthew 25 Ministries. It is a disaster relief charity and much more. It’s location is 11060 Kenwood Rd, Blue Ash, OH 45242.

I was able to help the community by teaching the kids about God as well as having fun at the same time. I also helped at some of the Youth Elective Service weekends.

I also liked being able to visit them and make their day a bit brighter because some of those people aren’t able to get out much.

Thanks to her connections, she was easily able to arrange this for me by contacting someone affiliated with the facility. Upon my arrival, I was given a tour of the building and prompted to help those in the administration office by packing envelopes. Due to privacy laws, I was unable to physically interact with their patients. However, I take great pride in knowing that I did what I could to help an organization that focuses on providing exceptional, accessible care for others, regardless of a patient’s ability to

Throughout this experience i learned more about myself than i thought possible. But during the volunteer hours that i performed, i completely broke out of my quiet shell. When i started my journey off at a children's sports and adventure camp, it helped me to become a leader, as well as a facilitator. I had to organize, and instruct activities daily.

I volunteered at the Hubbard House, which is a home away from home for people who have family in the hospital or are being treated by the hospital and don’t want to live there, as the hospital is a 5 minute bus ride away. Our job was to serve the residents who were currently housed there, a hot homemade spaghetti and meatballs meal with garlic bread and assorted desserts.
