Youth Reflection - Lauren

Today we went to a homeless day shelter where we organized things for WOW (Worship on Wednesdays), made cookies, helped make sack lunches, and interacted with all the people who came to seek shelter from the heat. I helped by sharpening colored pencils with my group while we chatted. Yesterday morning we went to a church where they were handing out food to homeless people. It was very eye-opening to see just the amount of people who needed food and a place to live, and it makes you think about how lucky you are to have an A/C during summer and a place to buy food that you can afford. When we went to the Women and Children’s shelter on Tuesday, it was very sad to see the amount of little children there with their mom. I can’t wait to go home and tell everyone about this amazing experience I’ve had here.
