Volunteer

2022 Flood Relief
07.2022 - 08.2022

I volunteer at East Perry Elementary and the old JCPenny flood relief centers. I assisted victims with finding necessities for personal health and cleaning supplies. Along with helping them gather these supplies, I was also able to communicate with all kinds of people in my community and learned so much. This was my favorite volunteer experience.
