Volunteer Work

  • I volunteered at a soup kitchen every Friday from 3-7 pm while staying in Chicago for my freshman year. I was in an organization that was part of Loyola. Every Tuesday and Friday, a group of Loyola students volunteers at the St. Thomas of Canterbury Soup Kitchen to prepare and serve a meal. I enjoyed the experience and was not only able to make connections with my peers but also connect with those whom we were serving, which was amazing.
