Growing Through Service

    When I first started volunteering at Midnight Mission on August 19, 2023, I was just beginning to learn what it truly means to help others. Back then, I couldn't do much; I served fruits like mangoes, blueberries, and bananas to the homeless and helped with utensils. Even though my contributions felt small, I remember feeling a deep sense of gratitude and purpose, knowing I was making someone's day a little easier. Over the past two years, I’ve learned about compassion, determination, and the importance of community service. Now, as I start high school this week, I feel more inspired to do more and serve more people in need. Volunteering has shown me how small acts of kindness can have a big impact, and I’m excited to continue making a difference in the lives of others.
