Baldwin Center..

Well, I volunteered at the Baldwin Center on Tuesday. It was interesting and kind of fun to help out. As a class I felt that we worked really well together and had fun organizing the "pantry." I had no expectations when I first heard that we were going to be volunteering at the center. I volunteer a lot so this just seemed like another volunteer experience. But after doing the service I felt a little happy and accomplished. I felt like we really made a dent because the room was much more organized and clean when we left than when we came in.

I noticed that things were different than what I pictured. The Baldwin Center actually does a lot for the city. It offers a housing little thing, soup kitchen, food etc. It was surprising to find out the relationship between the Church next door and the Center. It was also surprising to find see how much food the Center has collected and how much they really do help people. I'm glad I could help, even if it was for a short time. It's nice to know that they appreciate all of us helping. I had a great experience this week!!
