Community Service

To me community service is when you donate your time to a community doing a specific project.  It doesn’t have to be your own but any community that is in need.  You are not paid of your services, you are volunteering your time to a certain cause. Community Service varies in the things you can do for a community, or even an organization like a church or daycare.  I am reallylooking forward to doing community service in my FRO class,  even though I’ve done quite a lot of community service on my own.  For the past few years I’ve volunteered at the Fresh Air Fund, and when I would go down to North Carolina in the summer, I would volunteer there at the Food Pantry (passing out food for the needy) and help my grandma do meals-on-wheels, going from house to house giving the elderly groceries they couldn’t go out and get themselves.  I love to volunteer and I really love when people smile at me because it tells me that they appreciate that someone cares. I know if I were in their situation, the best feeling would be that someone cares.  I’m very excited to start community service with my class:).
