On Tuesday morning, November 7th I volunteered with a group of my friends again through Feed My People at First United Methodist Church. It was again a great experience as we fed the homeless and had good conversation with them for an hour and a half. It is definitely something I recommend for second semester as it was a blast serving and hearing stories from these people.

I attended a program called Reading Aces at Gus Garcia Rec Center from 4:00-5:00. We spent the hour engaging with elementary school kids from low-income families by reading to help their literacy skills and enjoying conversation. This opportunity was awesome because we got to have a great time with these kids while being able to sit down and help them learn.
On Tuesday, October 17, 2017, I volunteered with 5 of my friends at First United Methodist Church through Feed My People where we spend an hour and a half serving and talking to homeless people that come from all over Austin. I had the pleasure of sitting down with a man and having a 30 minute conversation about sports. It was nice to be able to hear some of the people's stories while making sure they are getting adequate food and water for their breakfast.
