Devon Hoskins volunteered at a homeless shelter to help make and distribute food to those in need. They helped prepare large amounts of food and set up a buffet line to hand out the food. The people at the shelter were very grateful to receive the meals. Through this experience, Devon learned that many people are less fortunate and that volunteering even a small amount of time, such as preparing a meal, can greatly help those in need.

Families
SERVICE PROJECT
VOLUNTEERED BY: DEVON HOSKINS

2. Purpose
The purpose of this service project was to help families
who were in need of food. A large group of people got
together in a homeless shelter to make different types
of food for those in need. These people were extremely
poor and had no where to go. The shelter took them in
and invited people to help take care of them.

3. What I Did:
First, I helped other prepared
large amounts of food for the
people in the shelter. After all
of the food was prepared, we
made a buffet style line to hand
out the food. The people in the
shelter lined up and received
the food we had made for them.
We did this for several hours
and saw that everyone was very
grateful and appreciative that
we had come in their time of
need.

4. What I learned:
From volunteering, I learned that many people are less
fortunate than I am. Because of this, I learned to
volunteer to those less fortunate. Just working half a
day to prepare a meal for these people could have
saved their lives. Each person I helped showed great
appreciation and left with a big smile on their face.
The project made me feel like good about myself,
especially since it was a simple and easy gesture that
meant everything to these needy people.
