Community Service

Community Service; its needed everywhere throughout the U.S. for anyone and everyone. There is never to much community service. The one subject that has grabbed my attention is poverty in families. It breaks my heart to hear about little kids that only get one meal a day. Usually that one meal a day comes at lunch time when kids are at school. You will see kids stuffing themselves because thats their first meal since yesterday. Little kids will even go as far as putting food in thier pockets so they will have a snack for later that day. I attended Augusta High School and was part of National Honor Society and we did lots of things to help kids and families in need.
Around Halloween time we always did Trick or Treat so kids can eat. We would go door to door and gather any can goods from people so we could take them to our local caring center. We would make a competition out of it so more people would get involved and be willing to get more cans. They usually recieved a small prize for whoever collected the most cans.
Another thing we would do is around christmas time we would have our annual toy drive so kids could recieve gifts on christmas morning. we knew their parents couldn't afford it so we wanted to help out any way possible. We even accepted cash donations and we go out and buy toys with any money that was collected.
