Soulsville Community Closet

At Memphis Rox's Soulsville Community Closet, I provided affordable clothing and other
essentials to the underprivileged Memphis community. During this event, I helped customers
find the items they needed and did other customer service tasks such as bagging and loading
items for customers. I served the diverse population of Memphis that may be struggling
financially or are just looking for more affordable options for household items. The reactions
received from the community I served were overall appreciative and grateful and I had a great
experience with all parties involved in the event. This volunteer opportunity required skills such
as empathy, effective communication, and active listening. Interacting with the population served
illustrated our community's challenges and how those who have resources to distribute should
look for more innovative and effective ways to contribute. My service aligned with Memphis
Rox+Community as its mission includes providing affordable staples to those who need them
most.
