Service is making a positive impact on others by offering my support, time, and commitment. I serve because I know that it can help somebody else’s life become just a little bit easier. I have found volunteering to be an incredibly humbling experience that has allowed me to see the needs in our community more closely. The moment that was most eye opening to me was when I donated the cans I collected from my first food drive to Second Harvest Food Bank. Although I was proud of collecting hundreds of cans, when I wheeled the cart into the warehouse and saw cans stacked from the floor to the ceiling I realized that there are so many more people in need of food than I ever could have imagined. And I also realized that so many people also donate. Service has impacted my life because it has broadened my view beyond our environment and shown me how even small acts can improve the lives of others.
