Community service

Community service-being of service to one's community. In high school, part of students' history grade depends on if the student completes the necessary hours of community service (5 hours for 10th and 11th graders & 10 hours for 12th graders). However, some students don't appreciate being involved in a community. All students should view community service as opportunities to give back to something greater than themselves. Having been a boy scout for years, I'm raised to be of service when…

For my Service Learning Project, I volunteered at All Faith Community Services Food Bank and Resource Center.

There are multiple parts of this organization which makes it a great place for low-income families to go when they are in need of help. All Faith Community Services operates a food bank which serves anywhere between seventy and ninety people (families) a day. Once a month a family can…

A community is similar to a puzzle; without one of the pieces it is never flawless. Being a part of a community and participating in community service doesn’t only better us, but it helps the general public. When I signed up to volunteer at Sanford Health I wasn’t sure if I was truly helping anyone or even making a difference. Never did I think that the service I was providing would have such a positive outcome. Although I had originally thought that by volunteering I would be providing a simple…

For my volunteer service, I chose the game day parking help for the Rosenbaum Family House. The Rosenbaum Family House is a “home away from home” for families facing a medical crisis. As someone who has spent a lot of time traveling to doctors over the years, I know first-hand it can not only be exhausting but pricey. They give a more affordable option to those without a checkout time, for as long at their family member is at the hospital. I chose this to give back to an organization helping…

I performed my community service hours here at The Houston Food Bank located at Port wall which happens to be the Main Warehouse. Houston Food Bank is Houston's largest food donation foundation. The organization provides food & resources to the homeless and hungry across Southeast Texas. This is a great place to give back to the community, and our community always needs the help not only in time of natural disasters or holidays. I'm embarrassed to admit that I've never really volunteered. Well,…
