Community Service

For my community service project I spent time down at the Andre House, located

in downtown Phoenix. I spent the majority of my hours serving food to the

homeless people on Thanksgiving. I also helped wash dishes, clean tables, and even

prepare the turkey for the feast. For the other half of my hours I spent time organizing

clothes and shoes as well as helping to move boxes full of donated items. All the clothes

and shoes that I helped organize went to the homeless people and some of the stuff went

to the other local charity St. Vincent DePaul.

During my first visit at Andre House I immediately learned how everything

worked. I began stocking as many shoes as I could and I also started sorting out clothes

by sizes, from kids all the way to adults. My next task was to help unload boxes of more

donated items. Again I started sorting them out and finding a place for all of the different

clothes, shoes, and accessories. On my next trip down to the Andre House me and a

couple of friends helped prepare the Thanksgiving dinner. I did various tasks like

removing the skin off of the turkey, chopping onions to prepare the soup. Once the

turkey soup was ready, we started serving the long line of people. I also helped clean up

the tables and take out all of the trash after the meal was done. Overall I did a bunch of

cleaning as well as serving food.
