I had a great time volunteering at Binghampton Community Church. It was great to see so many community members come out to support each other! Binghampton Community Church is a community run organization providing food, clothing and religious services to its community members. Through this event, myself and a team of other volunteers assisted community members in getting the clothing items that they needed. We also picked up trash around the church to make it a cleaner an safer space for community members to gather. Working with a team of people made the experience very enjoyable and it was great to network with different people and hear about their experiences. The person over the Church is Ms. Lisa, she was very clear on what she needed us to do and made sure we had all the necessary supplies and information to do so. I spent some time at the end of the event getting to know her and all that she does in the community, I also got her contact info and I plan to connect with her for future volunteer opportunities soon! This experience had a big impact on me because this is the community that I live in and I've seen first hand the issues that members of that community are facing, so to see so many people come together and provide this service to them was very heart warming and it made me want to get further involved.
