MLK Jr. Service Project Weekend (Sustainability)

My experience in working with the Community Center of South Decatur for the MLK Service Project this weekend was amazing! I was so excited to team up with fellow Scotties to help out the community and engage in this meaningful project that served to upkeep the homes of those in the surrounding Decatur area. My work focused on sustainability which included the tasks of home cleaning and sorting through clothes that could be donated and items that could be thrifted. We also sorted through recyclables and helped to get rid of E-Waste. The joy and excitement on the faces of the homeowners we helped made the work much more rewarding to me knowing that my acts of service contributed to their happiness. Overall, my experience in partnering with the Community Center for this project was very positive and meaningful and I would consider working on an additional service project throughout my time here at Agnes!

I enjoyed seeing my impact and spending time with my fellow Scottie’s and Alumn.

I joined the afternoon shift. I move some clothes in a bag and walked to different houses. My group walked around the area and enjoyed the conversations that were being had during the walk. I also didn't know that there were so many houses behind Agnes, so I got to be around some new scenery.
