We had turkey sandwiches and potato chips that were delicious!

I love coming to the Earth Day celebration! It is such a beautiful experience and to interact with the animals is always a bonus. We did a butterfly release, which was the most beautiful thing ever!

I love when I have the opportunity to be around kids! Their innocence is very refreshing and allows me to reinforce the reason I go about doing things in my life the way I do. Today we trailed an elementary school around the gardens and aided in the activities that they completed. And I got to take home a flower!

I love to come and volunteer here and have missed it during the months I had no car to go. You truly learn something new every day and meet some really bright and beautiful people that come. Overall, especially if you want your heart strings tugged on, I recommend volunteering here every time!

I was set up at the Bee station and truly, you learn something new every day. The information about the Bee's was intriguing and the honey candies that I passed out were delicious! All of the kids were amazing to hear and tend to as well, they are truly comedians and just don't know because of their innocence.
Always such a great time volunteering at the gardens and the relaxing walk throughout the gardens is always such a beautiful thing to look forward to.

Always a great time! It was a slow Thursday, but any day here is enjoyable and always a new learning experience.

Always a wonderful time and experience here at Catholic Charities. Growing up in Arkansas, I used to volunteer at a very similar church back home and it reminds me of those days in high school. As someone who is a believer in forever learning, I am always learning something new about the world here.

A great experience every time! They make my heart smile to just interact with the community and make their morning, as they say, while they truly make mine.

I love going and it will for sure be a frequent volunteer spot in this upcoming year. I used to volunteer at a church back home on Wednesday nights, doing something similar, and it brings back memories of my times then. I loved it! It is always an eye opener and this time I met Ms. Olivia today and her story was heartwarming to hear, because she accredits our good savor Jesus, and anyone who does that has my love always.

Always and forever an eye opener to go out in the community and serve. Broadens your perspective every time and as someone who deals in empathy, it increases the flow of that.
