Serving at the Harvey County Homeless Shelter


Our National Honors Society chapter volunteered at the Harvey County Homeless Shelter on Saturday, January 23. We prepared a barbecue meal for the residents and each brought a dish to serve. There was pulled pork, mac 'n cheese, coleslaw, baked beans, cantaloupe, and brownies. Many of us had volunteered there in the past with our churches, but it's different every time and really neat to experience with your peers. Once all of the residents were served, we fixed ourselves a plate and sat amongst the residents, chatting and listening to their stories. The most rewarding part was getting to see how appreciative the full-time volunteers and residents were for our willingness to be there. I will definitely make it a priority to return again!

What are you doing today to serve others? :)

With love,
Paige
