One Roof Outreach is one of my communities outreach programs. We serve the underprivileged community with financial aid, housing options, counseling, food, etc. I serve on the board, and am also the lead volunteer coordinator.
I am about to serve on my 4th vision based mission trip in 5 years. I work with iCare and Sight is a Right. We bring eye care to communities and country's in poverty. Our volunteers give the patients a full medical exam (going through different stations), a new pair of glasses that are custom made with their new Rx, and a free pair of sunglasses. Some of the places we have served are Mexico, St. Lucia, Jamaica, Peru, and Turk and Caicos
