Today I took the time to help
prepare food for the event Thanksgiving in The Park. Thanksgiving in the Park
is an event hosted by Union Station Homeless Services to provide a Thanksgiving
dinner for people who cannot afford one. This group seeks to end homelessness
and treat everyone as equals. There are seven different locations in America
for this service group. Union Station Homeless Services also provides other
programs such as street outreach, employment development, mental health
services, and more. Today, I got the opportunity to help with making sandwiches
for these families to enjoy on Thanksgiving Day. Other jobs to help prepare for
this event included preparing turkey, vegetables, and dog treats. Being able to
help my community with something so simple as preparing food is a sign that one
should never take what they have for granted. Simple acts of kindness can make
positive impacts on those who are less fortunate. Food is one of the greatest
and most important necessities of life so why not make sure that everyone has
equal access to it? Everyone deserves to be happy during the holidays and
helping with this event is the first of many steps in helping achieve this
goal.
