I loved having the chance to help out at the Mardi Gras Bingo event to support the community and Holy Rosary. It was a wonderful opportunity to meet members of the church and of the local San Antonio community.
With Open Opportunities at Family Service Association, I volunteered with members of the Marianist Leadership Program at the Winterfest 2022 Event. At the event, we engaged with the San Antonio community to share, promote, and communicate opportunities related to the association's services. We encouraged the community to donate toys and gifts while sharing water and information with them as well. It was a wonderful event and it was a great opportunity to represent the Marianist Leadership Program and Family Service as volunteers. I always look forward to working with Family Service and it was a great service event as we transition into the holiday season.
For this time at Family Service, I helped with packing diapers into separate piles in one of the rooms where many of the donations given to family service are visible. I saw this opportunity as a way of understanding more of what family service is involved in giving back to the community and getting to know my fellow MLPers more.
For this time at Family Service at the Neighborhood place, we were asked to help arrange chairs, and tables, along with cleaning the tables for an event Family Service was prepping for the day. Along with being able to contribute to helping them set up the event, it was a nice opportunity to see people from the community along with others in Family Service work together to make an event in service of others. I hope to see more of these wonderful events in the future with them.
This past Thursday, we finished making the graduation caps and it was enjoyable that we were able to contribute to the organization's service towards the community. I also had a great time working with the other MLPers on site and growing closer to them. I look forward to what we can contribute to next.
I volunteered at the Winterfest today at the Quarry to help with Family Service's Adopt a Family Program. It was so great to witness all of the families who were able to ask questions about the program and donate gifts to these families. I look forward to working more with Family Service in the future.
