10. Community Service
 Grassroots is an organization where women go when they are
abused, or have nowhere else to go. I donate food, and clothes
to here on a regular basis with my mom.
 There is a similar organization where I give my old clothes to the
women and children who live there.
 My friends mom teaches at Arundel Middle School and several
of her students are forced to live in their cars and she has to go
grocery shopping for her students who aren’t able to buy food
for themselves. The children have a very little amount of clothes
and blankets. Very recently my mom and I donated bags and
bags filled with old clothes and blankets to give to her who then
gave to her children at the school.

11. Why Do I Do Community Service?
 I participate in community service because I feel that
there are so many children, teenagers, and adults,
that need as much help as they can get. People most
likely might think to themselves, “Oh, I don’t need to
donate because people already do that,” but they are
wrong. You cant continue to push things like this
away because some donations are desperate, and
others not as much. You should WANT to help people,
not just feel the NEED to.
