Tomorrow I am going to do something that I have wanted to do for a long time. I’m going to visit a homeless shelter and meet the people who work and live there. I have always wanted to work at or volunteer for a position with a homeless shelter. Tomorrow after the tour Sara is going to tell me all about the volunteer opportunities available.
I figured now is the best time to start volunteering with the difficulties that families are having with their finances. The shelter is at full capacity right now and they are in need of help. Fairfax County has always been known as a rich community but with the increase in unemployment and the high interest rates affecting the housing market a lot of people are ending up in shelters. I’m hoping I’ll be able to get a lot out of this experience and I hope I become more grateful for everything I have.
