Faith in Action Paper I spent my 15 faith service hours volunteering for Feed My Starving Children and I helped the maintenance crew around the school. While I did this I made new friends and grew as a person as well as in my faith. I probably spent about 8 or more of my service hours volunteering for Feed My Starving Children. Before when I was younger, I would go in because my older sister needed service hours and scoop some veggies and powder into a funnel for an hour and a half. Then after the session my sister would have me walk up to the counter and ask for a slip of paper with the service hours on it, so she give them to her school’s counselor and get the hours out of the way faster. But that was it. The organization meant nothing

So she reserved some slots for us to go in and work for an hour and a half. After the first couple sessions of the typical scooping, bagging, and weighing I decided to try something new, I volunteered for warehouse crew. In the warehouse crew you get assigned one of four jobs, give or take depending on the amount of volunteers. The first job was to refill the soy and rice bins when empty one were brought in. The second job required four people to cart around two carts, two people on each, with soy and rice and give the people at the stations a refill when they ask for it. The third job was to run around and when a station was complete with a box of 36 bags you’d drop off a box and take their full one and give it to the person with the last job. The last job was to weigh the boxes and make sure they were between 14.2 kilograms and 15 kilograms. After I made my decision to work in the warehouse I had more fun with volunteering and I started to actually want to work, it wasn’t just for service hours. I made friends running around and especially loved messing around with little kids who were scooping. After the sessions would end we would walk into the warehouse for prayer. The prayer part was special because after they would show us a video of some of the kids …show more content…
With these hours I decided to work maintenance for my school. After school I’d go to the maintenance closet next to the bathroom in the main hallway and wait for Jarod Harper. Jarod would then proceed to assign jobs. He always assigns someone he knows with whoever was new that day to clean the bathrooms, then two people he trusted to vacuum the stairs in the school, and everyone else would help clean the classrooms. Cleaning the classrooms included wiping and straightening desks, sweeping, and wiping down the board. I once had the privilege in cleaning the fieldhouse floors with the zamboni. This job made me realize all the hard work done behind the scenes to keep our school clean for all students, faculty, and guests. In conclusion, I may have not went and done 100 service hours, but in the short amount of time I was volunteering for my hours I grew a lot in my faith for God as well as bettering myself as a
