| At Bethany House, we
sang for the sisters. Their faces were filled with joy
– an image that I don’t want to forget.

I liked putting together the outfits for little
girls at Cradles to Crayons but it was hard to have
to imagine the unfortunate little girls who had nothing
to wear but what I had set aside for them. The selection
and quality of the clothes made me want to go out and
buy them some new clothing.
Lauren
I saw the face of God in one of the homeless people
at Fr. Bill’s, which was for me an unlikely place.
This taught me that the face of God can be found in
anyone.

My favorite activity for the week was the Greater
Boston Food Bank. I liked it because it was directly
helping the community. It really hit me hard while we
were packing the food because you can’t live without
food.

When I arrived at the “Service Plunge,”
I was just thinking about completing the service hours.
Now, at the end of the week, I realize that it is more
than that. This week changed the way I view service
– not as a thing to be completed but something
done out of love.
Ashley
When I came to the “Service Plunge”
this week, I didn’t know what to expect. I came
in knowing only a few people and today leaving I realized
that I met new friends that I will always be friends
with.
Molly
I have several memories that stand out in my mind
this week. The most prominent – the Greater Boston
Food Bank. I was sorting through a large box of goods
and realized that a lot of the items were things that
my mom buys when she goes to the supermarket. It made
me realize that people who are hungry are just like
me. It made me feel closer to them. My experiences this
week gave a face to the poor of Milton and Boston. They
no longer seem alien.
Michael
When I first came to the “Service Plunge,”
I didn’t think it was going to be fun but, now,
at the end of the week I realize that I don’t
want it to be over. I learned that helping out made
me feel really good inside.
Kathryn
This is my second time doing the “Service
Plunge.” Since it was my second time I knew what
to expect but, by the end of the week, I felt moved
and it made me feel good inside because I knew we made
a difference in peoples’ lives this week.
