Hi, it's Justin again, and today I'm here to tell you about my experience helping out for my local PADS shelter! I'm Jewish, and as some may know, the Jewish people celebrated the holiday of Purim this past weekend. A large part of Purim is about not only stomping out evil, but also giving back. My temple decided to hold a large Purim celebration and give back to the community by packing lunches for our local PADS shelter, a location for the homeless to come and be safe. Our temple helped to pack over 50 sack lunches for the homeless, baked five large casseroles, and provided drinks and sides for a whole day's meal. After all the food was packed, I loaded it into my car and drove it to the shelter's current location in a Presbyterian church. This also helped me to appreciate another religion by seeing how their church functioned. I really enjoyed giving back to my community, and being able to help the homeless made me enjoy it even more!
(Provided 3 hours of community service)
