Mission Possible

Mission Possible.

Recently I have been volunteering for an organization that promotes the well being of others while creating a memorable connection with people in need. To put it into simpler terms, every Tuesday this organization gets donations of winter clothes, summer clothes, sleeping bags, blankets/sheets, nessecary toiletries, makeup/jewlery and much more that need to be organized. Once the donations are sorted, the doors are opened to people who are in need: (people living on the streets, people living through wellfare, people with mental illnesses and so on and so forth) then they are personally toured around by one of the volunteers so they can essentially shop through our pre-organized donations. This method of working with the people in need, really allows you to connect on a one on one basis while bringing smiles to their faces. So far, I have volunteered two Tuesdays, but from what I have extracted from this experence is a taste of the real world and a step into the lives of struggling people.
