My community service event I participated in this semester was a two day event right before
Thanksgiving. Our church in Little Rock was doing a drive-through event where members of
the homeless communities with cars could drive around the back door of the church and receive
boxes of food. The first day, I went with my family to help prep the food boxes. We helped put
the right amount of fresh produce and dry goods in each box as other people pulled the boxes
on pallets down an aisle, and we restocked the bins of food from wholesale shipments when
the bins got low. After we finished making all of the boxes, I helped deliver food on the loading
dock. For each car, my sister and I walked out and gave each vehicle a sack of yams and some
oranges before they pulled up by the dock where we could load the boxes.
Once the end of the line of cars started approaching, we realized we did not have enough boxes
to give out to each car, as even though we had made twenty extra boxes, many people showed
up unannounced without their number tag on the car. It was difficult having to tell them we
didn’t have enough food left for them and that some extra bags of yams I had given out to fuller
cars earlier could have gone to feeding their families. Despite this, we did what we could in
giving them whatever food we could round up and told them that they could come back the
next day. Additionally, it was nice to see that a lot of the volunteers working at the event were
also homeless and still found the time and effort to help others.
The second day we did not do the same loading dock process, but instead we had a thanksgiving
lunch for all of our homeless volunteers and those who did not get food the previous day. We
had lunch catered and picked up for us, so we did not need to do any meal prep, and my dad
and I only had to go buy drink options for everyone. We also filled about forty cups with ice
for people to use if they wanted colder drinks, and once the food came, we took the containers
and the sauces and served each table of people. Unfortunately, we had the same problem as the
day before where we were short of food, with one of the loading dock volunteers I worked
with, Michael, being the only one to not get a meal container. So, we had to run down to the
grocery store and fix up a meal for him. After everyone had eaten, we had a raffle to give out
tents and folding chairs for five winners, and I actually won the first draw, but I obviously
didn’t need it, so I told the pastor to redraw.
During the two days, it was encouraging to see members of the homeless community and also
just the Little Rock community in general holding on to supporting each other as a community
and working towards an environment built on trust and brotherhood.

day before where we were short of food, with one of the loading dock volunteers I worked
with, Michael, being the only one to not get a meal container. So, we had to run down to the
grocery store and fix up a meal for him. After everyone had eaten, we had a raffle to give out
tents and folding chairs for five winners, and I actually won the first draw, but I obviously
didn’t need it, so I told the pastor to redraw.
During the two days, it was encouraging to see members of the homeless community and also
just the Little Rock community in general holding on to supporting each other as a community
and working towards an environment built on trust and brotherhood.
My community service event I participated in this semester was a two day event right before
Thanksgiving. Our church in Little Rock was doing a drive-through event where members of
the homeless communities with cars could drive around the back door of the church and receive
boxes of food. The first day, I went with my family to help prep the food boxes. We helped put
the right amount of fresh produce and dry goods in each box as other people pulled the boxes
on pallets down an aisle, and we restocked the bins of food from wholesale shipments when
the bins got low. After we finished making all of the boxes, I helped deliver food on the loading
dock. For each car, my sister and I walked out and gave each vehicle a sack of yams and some
oranges before they pulled up by the dock where we could load the boxes.
Once the end of the line of cars started approaching, we realized we did not have enough boxes
to give out to each car, as even though we had made twenty extra boxes, many people showed
up unannounced without their number tag on the car. It was difficult having to tell them we
didn’t have enough food left for them and that some extra bags of yams I had given out to fuller
cars earlier could have gone to feeding their families. Despite this, we did what we could in
giving them whatever food we could round up and told them that they could come back the
next day. Additionally, it was nice to see that a lot of the volunteers working at the event were
also homeless and still found the time and effort to help others.
The second day we did not do the same loading dock process, but instead we had a thanksgiving
lunch for all of our homeless volunteers and those who did not get food the previous day. We
had lunch catered and picked up for us, so we did not need to do any meal prep, and my dad
and I only had to go buy drink options for everyone. We also filled about forty cups with ice
for people to use if they wanted colder drinks, and once the food came, we took the containers
and the sauces and served each table of people. Unfortunately, we had the same problem as the

giving them whatever food we could round up and told them that they could come back the
next day. Additionally, it was nice to see that a lot of the volunteers working at the event were
also homeless and still found the time and effort to help others.
The second day we did not do the same loading dock process, but instead we had a thanksgiving
lunch for all of our homeless volunteers and those who did not get food the previous day. We
had lunch catered and picked up for us, so we did not need to do any meal prep, and my dad
and I only had to go buy drink options for everyone. We also filled about forty cups with ice
for people to use if they wanted colder drinks, and once the food came, we took the containers
and the sauces and served each table of people. Unfortunately, we had the same problem as the
day before where we were short of food, with one of the loading dock volunteers I worked
with, Michael, being the only one to not get a meal container. So, we had to run down to the
grocery store and fix up a meal for him. After everyone had eaten, we had a raffle to give out
tents and folding chairs for five winners, and I actually won the first draw, but I obviously
didn’t need it, so I told the pastor to redraw.
During the two days, it was encouraging to see members of the homeless community and also
just the Little Rock community in general holding on to supporting each other as a community
and working towards an environment built on trust and brotherhood.
My community service event I participated in this semester was a two day event right before
Thanksgiving. Our church in Little Rock was doing a drive-through event where members of
the homeless communities with cars could drive around the back door of the church and receive
boxes of food. The first day, I went with my family to help prep the food boxes. We helped put
the right amount of fresh produce and dry goods in each box as other people pulled the boxes
on pallets down an aisle, and we restocked the bins of food from wholesale shipments when
the bins got low. After we finished making all of the boxes, I helped deliver food on the loading
dock. For each car, my sister and I walked out and gave each vehicle a sack of yams and some
oranges before they pulled up by the dock where we could load the boxes.
Once the end of the line of cars started approaching, we realized we did not have enough boxes
to give out to each car, as even though we had made twenty extra boxes, many people showed
up unannounced without their number tag on the car. It was difficult having to tell them we
didn’t have enough food left for them and that some extra bags of yams I had given out to fuller
cars earlier could have gone to feeding their families. Despite this, we did what we could in
giving them whatever food we could round up and told them that they could come back the

on pallets down an aisle, and we restocked the bins of food from wholesale shipments when
the bins got low. After we finished making all of the boxes, I helped deliver food on the loading
dock. For each car, my sister and I walked out and gave each vehicle a sack of yams and some
oranges before they pulled up by the dock where we could load the boxes.
Once the end of the line of cars started approaching, we realized we did not have enough boxes
to give out to each car, as even though we had made twenty extra boxes, many people showed
up unannounced without their number tag on the car. It was difficult having to tell them we
didn’t have enough food left for them and that some extra bags of yams I had given out to fuller
cars earlier could have gone to feeding their families. Despite this, we did what we could in
giving them whatever food we could round up and told them that they could come back the
next day. Additionally, it was nice to see that a lot of the volunteers working at the event were
also homeless and still found the time and effort to help others.
The second day we did not do the same loading dock process, but instead we had a thanksgiving
lunch for all of our homeless volunteers and those who did not get food the previous day. We
had lunch catered and picked up for us, so we did not need to do any meal prep, and my dad
and I only had to go buy drink options for everyone. We also filled about forty cups with ice
for people to use if they wanted colder drinks, and once the food came, we took the containers
and the sauces and served each table of people. Unfortunately, we had the same problem as the
day before where we were short of food, with one of the loading dock volunteers I worked
with, Michael, being the only one to not get a meal container. So, we had to run down to the
grocery store and fix up a meal for him. After everyone had eaten, we had a raffle to give out
tents and folding chairs for five winners, and I actually won the first draw, but I obviously
didn’t need it, so I told the pastor to redraw.
During the two days, it was encouraging to see members of the homeless community and also
just the Little Rock community in general holding on to supporting each other as a community
and working towards an environment built on trust and brotherhood.
My community service event I participated in this semester was a two day event right before
Thanksgiving. Our church in Little Rock was doing a drive-through event where members of
the homeless communities with cars could drive around the back door of the church and receive
boxes of food. The first day, I went with my family to help prep the food boxes. We helped put
the right amount of fresh produce and dry goods in each box as other people pulled the boxes

grocery store and fix up a meal for him. After everyone had eaten, we had a raffle to give out
tents and folding chairs for five winners, and I actually won the first draw, but I obviously
didn’t need it, so I told the pastor to redraw.
During the two days, it was encouraging to see members of the homeless community and also
just the Little Rock community in general holding on to supporting each other as a community
and working towards an environment built on trust and brotherhood.
My community service event I participated in this semester was a two day event right before
Thanksgiving. Our church in Little Rock was doing a drive-through event where members of
the homeless communities with cars could drive around the back door of the church and receive
boxes of food. The first day, I went with my family to help prep the food boxes. We helped put
the right amount of fresh produce and dry goods in each box as other people pulled the boxes
on pallets down an aisle, and we restocked the bins of food from wholesale shipments when
the bins got low. After we finished making all of the boxes, I helped deliver food on the loading
dock. For each car, my sister and I walked out and gave each vehicle a sack of yams and some
oranges before they pulled up by the dock where we could load the boxes.
Once the end of the line of cars started approaching, we realized we did not have enough boxes
to give out to each car, as even though we had made twenty extra boxes, many people showed
up unannounced without their number tag on the car. It was difficult having to tell them we
didn’t have enough food left for them and that some extra bags of yams I had given out to fuller
cars earlier could have gone to feeding their families. Despite this, we did what we could in
giving them whatever food we could round up and told them that they could come back the
next day. Additionally, it was nice to see that a lot of the volunteers working at the event were
also homeless and still found the time and effort to help others.
The second day we did not do the same loading dock process, but instead we had a thanksgiving
lunch for all of our homeless volunteers and those who did not get food the previous day. We
had lunch catered and picked up for us, so we did not need to do any meal prep, and my dad
and I only had to go buy drink options for everyone. We also filled about forty cups with ice
for people to use if they wanted colder drinks, and once the food came, we took the containers
and the sauces and served each table of people. Unfortunately, we had the same problem as the
day before where we were short of food, with one of the loading dock volunteers I worked

also homeless and still found the time and effort to help others.
The second day we did not do the same loading dock process, but instead we had a thanksgiving
lunch for all of our homeless volunteers and those who did not get food the previous day. We
had lunch catered and picked up for us, so we did not need to do any meal prep, and my dad
and I only had to go buy drink options for everyone. We also filled about forty cups with ice
for people to use if they wanted colder drinks, and once the food came, we took the containers
and the sauces and served each table of people. Unfortunately, we had the same problem as the
day before where we were short of food, with one of the loading dock volunteers I worked
with, Michael, being the only one to not get a meal container. So, we had to run down to the
grocery store and fix up a meal for him. After everyone had eaten, we had a raffle to give out
tents and folding chairs for five winners, and I actually won the first draw, but I obviously
didn’t need it, so I told the pastor to redraw.
During the two days, it was encouraging to see members of the homeless community and also
just the Little Rock community in general holding on to supporting each other as a community
and working towards an environment built on trust and brotherhood.
My community service event I participated in this semester was a two day event right before
Thanksgiving. Our church in Little Rock was doing a drive-through event where members of
the homeless communities with cars could drive around the back door of the church and receive
boxes of food. The first day, I went with my family to help prep the food boxes. We helped put
the right amount of fresh produce and dry goods in each box as other people pulled the boxes
on pallets down an aisle, and we restocked the bins of food from wholesale shipments when
the bins got low. After we finished making all of the boxes, I helped deliver food on the loading
dock. For each car, my sister and I walked out and gave each vehicle a sack of yams and some
oranges before they pulled up by the dock where we could load the boxes.
Once the end of the line of cars started approaching, we realized we did not have enough boxes
to give out to each car, as even though we had made twenty extra boxes, many people showed
up unannounced without their number tag on the car. It was difficult having to tell them we
didn’t have enough food left for them and that some extra bags of yams I had given out to fuller
cars earlier could have gone to feeding their families. Despite this, we did what we could in
giving them whatever food we could round up and told them that they could come back the
next day. Additionally, it was nice to see that a lot of the volunteers working at the event were
also homeless and still found the time and effort to help others.

dock. For each car, my sister and I walked out and gave each vehicle a sack of yams and some
oranges before they pulled up by the dock where we could load the boxes.
Once the end of the line of cars started approaching, we realized we did not have enough boxes
to give out to each car, as even though we had made twenty extra boxes, many people showed
up unannounced without their number tag on the car. It was difficult having to tell them we
didn’t have enough food left for them and that some extra bags of yams I had given out to fuller
cars earlier could have gone to feeding their families. Despite this, we did what we could in
giving them whatever food we could round up and told them that they could come back the
next day. Additionally, it was nice to see that a lot of the volunteers working at the event were
also homeless and still found the time and effort to help others.
The second day we did not do the same loading dock process, but instead we had a thanksgiving
lunch for all of our homeless volunteers and those who did not get food the previous day. We
had lunch catered and picked up for us, so we did not need to do any meal prep, and my dad
and I only had to go buy drink options for everyone. We also filled about forty cups with ice
for people to use if they wanted colder drinks, and once the food came, we took the containers
and the sauces and served each table of people. Unfortunately, we had the same problem as the
day before where we were short of food, with one of the loading dock volunteers I worked
with, Michael, being the only one to not get a meal container. So, we had to run down to the
grocery store and fix up a meal for him. After everyone had eaten, we had a raffle to give out
tents and folding chairs for five winners, and I actually won the first draw, but I obviously
didn’t need it, so I told the pastor to redraw.
During the two days, it was encouraging to see members of the homeless community and also
just the Little Rock community in general holding on to supporting each other as a community
and working towards an environment built on trust and brotherhood.
My community service event I participated in this semester was a two day event right before
Thanksgiving. Our church in Little Rock was doing a drive-through event where members of
the homeless communities with cars could drive around the back door of the church and receive
boxes of food. The first day, I went with my family to help prep the food boxes. We helped put
the right amount of fresh produce and dry goods in each box as other people pulled the boxes
on pallets down an aisle, and we restocked the bins of food from wholesale shipments when
the bins got low. After we finished making all of the boxes, I helped deliver food on the loading
dock. For each car, my sister and I walked out and gave each vehicle a sack of yams and some

During the two days, it was encouraging to see members of the homeless community and also
just the Little Rock community in general holding on to supporting each other as a community
and working towards an environment built on trust and brotherhood.
My community service event I participated in this semester was a two day event right before
Thanksgiving. Our church in Little Rock was doing a drive-through event where members of
the homeless communities with cars could drive around the back door of the church and receive
boxes of food. The first day, I went with my family to help prep the food boxes. We helped put
the right amount of fresh produce and dry goods in each box as other people pulled the boxes
on pallets down an aisle, and we restocked the bins of food from wholesale shipments when
the bins got low. After we finished making all of the boxes, I helped deliver food on the loading
dock. For each car, my sister and I walked out and gave each vehicle a sack of yams and some
oranges before they pulled up by the dock where we could load the boxes.
Once the end of the line of cars started approaching, we realized we did not have enough boxes
to give out to each car, as even though we had made twenty extra boxes, many people showed
up unannounced without their number tag on the car. It was difficult having to tell them we
didn’t have enough food left for them and that some extra bags of yams I had given out to fuller
cars earlier could have gone to feeding their families. Despite this, we did what we could in
giving them whatever food we could round up and told them that they could come back the
next day. Additionally, it was nice to see that a lot of the volunteers working at the event were
also homeless and still found the time and effort to help others.
The second day we did not do the same loading dock process, but instead we had a thanksgiving
lunch for all of our homeless volunteers and those who did not get food the previous day. We
had lunch catered and picked up for us, so we did not need to do any meal prep, and my dad
and I only had to go buy drink options for everyone. We also filled about forty cups with ice
for people to use if they wanted colder drinks, and once the food came, we took the containers
and the sauces and served each table of people. Unfortunately, we had the same problem as the
day before where we were short of food, with one of the loading dock volunteers I worked
with, Michael, being the only one to not get a meal container. So, we had to run down to the
grocery store and fix up a meal for him. After everyone had eaten, we had a raffle to give out
tents and folding chairs for five winners, and I actually won the first draw, but I obviously
didn’t need it, so I told the pastor to redraw.

had lunch catered and picked up for us, so we did not need to do any meal prep, and my dad
and I only had to go buy drink options for everyone. We also filled about forty cups with ice
for people to use if they wanted colder drinks, and once the food came, we took the containers
and the sauces and served each table of people. Unfortunately, we had the same problem as the
day before where we were short of food, with one of the loading dock volunteers I worked
with, Michael, being the only one to not get a meal container. So, we had to run down to the
grocery store and fix up a meal for him. After everyone had eaten, we had a raffle to give out
tents and folding chairs for five winners, and I actually won the first draw, but I obviously
didn’t need it, so I told the pastor to redraw.
During the two days, it was encouraging to see members of the homeless community and also
just the Little Rock community in general holding on to supporting each other as a community
and working towards an environment built on trust and brotherhood.
My community service event I participated in this semester was a two day event right before
Thanksgiving. Our church in Little Rock was doing a drive-through event where members of
the homeless communities with cars could drive around the back door of the church and receive
boxes of food. The first day, I went with my family to help prep the food boxes. We helped put
the right amount of fresh produce and dry goods in each box as other people pulled the boxes
on pallets down an aisle, and we restocked the bins of food from wholesale shipments when
the bins got low. After we finished making all of the boxes, I helped deliver food on the loading
dock. For each car, my sister and I walked out and gave each vehicle a sack of yams and some
oranges before they pulled up by the dock where we could load the boxes.
Once the end of the line of cars started approaching, we realized we did not have enough boxes
to give out to each car, as even though we had made twenty extra boxes, many people showed
up unannounced without their number tag on the car. It was difficult having to tell them we
didn’t have enough food left for them and that some extra bags of yams I had given out to fuller
cars earlier could have gone to feeding their families. Despite this, we did what we could in
giving them whatever food we could round up and told them that they could come back the
next day. Additionally, it was nice to see that a lot of the volunteers working at the event were
also homeless and still found the time and effort to help others.

to give out to each car, as even though we had made twenty extra boxes, many people showed
up unannounced without their number tag on the car. It was difficult having to tell them we
didn’t have enough food left for them and that some extra bags of yams I had given out to fuller
cars earlier could have gone to feeding their families. Despite this, we did what we could in
giving them whatever food we could round up and told them that they could come back the
next day. Additionally, it was nice to see that a lot of the volunteers working at the event were
also homeless and still found the time and effort to help others.
The second day we did not do the same loading dock process, but instead we had a thanksgiving
lunch for all of our homeless volunteers and those who did not get food the previous day. We
had lunch catered and picked up for us, so we did not need to do any meal prep, and my dad
and I only had to go buy drink options for everyone. We also filled about forty cups with ice
for people to use if they wanted colder drinks, and once the food came, we took the containers
and the sauces and served each table of people. Unfortunately, we had the same problem as the
day before where we were short of food, with one of the loading dock volunteers I worked
with, Michael, being the only one to not get a meal container. So, we had to run down to the
grocery store and fix up a meal for him. After everyone had eaten, we had a raffle to give out
tents and folding chairs for five winners, and I actually won the first draw, but I obviously
didn’t need it, so I told the pastor to redraw.
During the two days, it was encouraging to see members of the homeless community and also
just the Little Rock community in general holding on to supporting each other as a community
and working towards an environment built on trust and brotherhood.
My community service event I participated in this semester was a two day event right before
Thanksgiving. Our church in Little Rock was doing a drive-through event where members of
the homeless communities with cars could drive around the back door of the church and receive
boxes of food. The first day, I went with my family to help prep the food boxes. We helped put
the right amount of fresh produce and dry goods in each box as other people pulled the boxes
on pallets down an aisle, and we restocked the bins of food from wholesale shipments when
the bins got low. After we finished making all of the boxes, I helped deliver food on the loading
dock. For each car, my sister and I walked out and gave each vehicle a sack of yams and some
oranges before they pulled up by the dock where we could load the boxes.

Thanksgiving. Our church in Little Rock was doing a drive-through event where members of
the homeless communities with cars could drive around the back door of the church and receive
boxes of food. The first day, I went with my family to help prep the food boxes. We helped put
the right amount of fresh produce and dry goods in each box as other people pulled the boxes
on pallets down an aisle, and we restocked the bins of food from wholesale shipments when
the bins got low. After we finished making all of the boxes, I helped deliver food on the loading
dock. For each car, my sister and I walked out and gave each vehicle a sack of yams and some
oranges before they pulled up by the dock where we could load the boxes.
Once the end of the line of cars started approaching, we realized we did not have enough boxes
to give out to each car, as even though we had made twenty extra boxes, many people showed
up unannounced without their number tag on the car. It was difficult having to tell them we
didn’t have enough food left for them and that some extra bags of yams I had given out to fuller
cars earlier could have gone to feeding their families. Despite this, we did what we could in
giving them whatever food we could round up and told them that they could come back the
next day. Additionally, it was nice to see that a lot of the volunteers working at the event were
also homeless and still found the time and effort to help others.
The second day we did not do the same loading dock process, but instead we had a thanksgiving
lunch for all of our homeless volunteers and those who did not get food the previous day. We
had lunch catered and picked up for us, so we did not need to do any meal prep, and my dad
and I only had to go buy drink options for everyone. We also filled about forty cups with ice
for people to use if they wanted colder drinks, and once the food came, we took the containers
and the sauces and served each table of people. Unfortunately, we had the same problem as the
day before where we were short of food, with one of the loading dock volunteers I worked
with, Michael, being the only one to not get a meal container. So, we had to run down to the
grocery store and fix up a meal for him. After everyone had eaten, we had a raffle to give out
tents and folding chairs for five winners, and I actually won the first draw, but I obviously
didn’t need it, so I told the pastor to redraw.
During the two days, it was encouraging to see members of the homeless community and also
just the Little Rock community in general holding on to supporting each other as a community
and working towards an environment built on trust and brotherhood.

day before where we were short of food, with one of the loading dock volunteers I worked
with, Michael, being the only one to not get a meal container. So, we had to run down to the
grocery store and fix up a meal for him. After everyone had eaten, we had a raffle to give out
tents and folding chairs for five winners, and I actually won the first draw, but I obviously
didn’t need it, so I told the pastor to redraw.
During the two days, it was encouraging to see members of the homeless community and also
just the Little Rock community in general holding on to supporting each other as a community
and working towards an environment built on trust and brotherhood.
My community service event I participated in this semester was a two day event right before
Thanksgiving. Our church in Little Rock was doing a drive-through event where members of
the homeless communities with cars could drive around the back door of the church and receive
boxes of food. The first day, I went with my family to help prep the food boxes. We helped put
the right amount of fresh produce and dry goods in each box as other people pulled the boxes
on pallets down an aisle, and we restocked the bins of food from wholesale shipments when
the bins got low. After we finished making all of the boxes, I helped deliver food on the loading
dock. For each car, my sister and I walked out and gave each vehicle a sack of yams and some
oranges before they pulled up by the dock where we could load the boxes.
Once the end of the line of cars started approaching, we realized we did not have enough boxes
to give out to each car, as even though we had made twenty extra boxes, many people showed
up unannounced without their number tag on the car. It was difficult having to tell them we
didn’t have enough food left for them and that some extra bags of yams I had given out to fuller
cars earlier could have gone to feeding their families. Despite this, we did what we could in
giving them whatever food we could round up and told them that they could come back the
next day. Additionally, it was nice to see that a lot of the volunteers working at the event were
also homeless and still found the time and effort to help others.
The second day we did not do the same loading dock process, but instead we had a thanksgiving
lunch for all of our homeless volunteers and those who did not get food the previous day. We
had lunch catered and picked up for us, so we did not need to do any meal prep, and my dad
and I only had to go buy drink options for everyone. We also filled about forty cups with ice
for people to use if they wanted colder drinks, and once the food came, we took the containers
and the sauces and served each table of people. Unfortunately, we had the same problem as the
