I hope everyone is having a fabulous Tuesday!
What did you do for Valentines Day, anything fun? Maybe romantic?
For Valentines Day, I was actually volunteering at a Los Angeles homeless shelter for the youth, called “The Covenant House“. This was the first time I ever volunteered for a charity/organization, so I was pretty excited, and well, pretty nervous, when I was asked to help out, because I didn’t know what to expect.
{ and yes, I can never keep my eyes open for photos, ever }
The day started off by getting a team of kids from The Covenant House, and teaming up together to do a scavenger hunt around the facility. The team that completed the entire scavenger hunt, was then gifted with a prize at the very end.
Thanks to Alex, we we able to find the majority of answers throughout the house, but a few other teams beat us to it.
After the scavenger hunt was completed, each person in the house received a new pair of shoes, and it was time for lunch.
Having this been the first time I ever volunteered for a charity or organization, I would 100% do it all over again.
The whole reason why I am writing this post though, is to share with you guys, that if you have ANY free time at all, or an open schedule, think about volunteering at a homeless shelter near you or in your area.
It really opens your eyes to what life is all about, when for the majority of the time, we take a lot of things for granite without realizing it.
There are kids and people that just need to see a smiling face to have a better day, and to realize that there is hope.
If you live in the Los Angeles area, I would suggest checking out The Covenant House, and inquire about volunteering. Their kids are awesome, and so so kind!
