We volunteered and so should you!

I love that my work has a volunteer event every quarter and everyone at the company takes a half day off of work to help a charity in need. This quarter we helped out an organization that helps children in crises that run away from home. This organization is called Angel's Flight located in south Los Angeles. Here the children are given clothing, food, medical care, counseling, recreation, and schoolwork. The ages of these children range from 10-17 years old. 

My work came in and saw what needed to be done and delegated jobs that the could really help the organization. We repaved the asphalt and painted a basketball court so that the kids would have somewhere nicer to play. We organized their clothing closet and painted murals in the children's bedrooms to make it a little happier.

 I only captured a couple pictures of the mural painting since that was the assignment I was given, but I really feel that this will have an impact on their daily lives and give them a nicer place to go in this time of need. 

Volunteering is great for the soul and everyone should do their part and lend an extra hand. There are so many people and places that could use a little extra care and help and you can make the difference!
