Halloween Community Distribution Day

This service benefited the people of the community by providing diapers to families who may struggle to pay for them.

We served the families of Memphis who struggled to afford diapers, formula, or period products because they were so expensive. They were grateful that we were there. A lot of the families have multiple children in diapers and would have to buy multiple different sizes. They acknowledged what a relief it would be not to worry about it.

Did this service align with your beliefs? Yes, it did. Because I am a Child Development major who hopes to work in Child Advocacy one day it is important to me that families have the resources they need to survive.

Did you work individually or as a part of a team during your service? How did that impact your experience?
We worked as a team. This impacted my experience greatly because there we a lot of volunteers who had volunteered before, and there were a lot of ladies who were very encouraging and wanted to hear about my journey.

Do you plan to continue volunteering with this organization?
Absolutely! I enjoyed how I got to face the people I was helping and that I was able to see the change it made.
