MY EXPERINCE IN VOLUNTEERING

My experience in volunteering over the years has been enlightening. I started years ago helping at a soup kitchen serving meals to people of all kinds. The salon I worked at put Christmas packages with gifts and lots of food. We dropped them off to people we knew that were struggling that year. It was a lot of fun. They never expected it ever. Then I would buy extra food, like a very large bag of potatoes or onions and give to my neighbor half of the bags.

Later on, when I accepted Yeshua/ Jesus. I volunteered at a youth center called Youth for Christ. In Stanwood, WA. It was the best volunteering I have ever done. To hang out with the teens, ages from 12 to 18years old. I got to help them with their homework and got to share my testimony. We played games, such as pool, air hockey and Foo’s ball. I got to help organize an outing to go have fun on the water. We went to volunteers’ home and had bible study and then played on the water for hours on water skies. I surely miss those teenagers.

Then I volunteered at the Gospel Mission in Chehalis. My son and I volunteered there. It was right after I was starting to feel better after my thyroid storm. Yes, my thyroid was shutting down. It was very scary. Praise God I got through it with my doctors help and a lot of pray. Anyways, we enjoyed cooking breakfast for all the people, I heard later that most everyone missed me after I had to leave. They missed my Italian eggs with veggies.

So, that’s some of my volunteering experiences. I do have a few more. But for now, I just wanted to share some of them. I let you know a little more about me.
