I have always enjoyed crafting. From a young age I was good at sewing and cross stitching. During the Covid-19 shut down I learned a new skill of crocheting. I went a little crazy making blankets, dolls, and scarfs for everyone. During the fall 2020 semester I did my service by making masks for my…
This previous semester, I had the joy of continuing my volunteer work at the Edwards Street Food Pantry. When the Fall semester ended, I continued to volunteer every Friday from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM until the spring semester began. Much of the work I completed at the food pantry this semester mirrored the work…
This semester, I decided to do something different. I had volunteered at Aldersgate the last two semesters, and before that, I had volunteered at Hawkins Elementary School. So, I decided to go back to something I had enjoyed doing during high school; working at an animal shelter. This semester, I decided to volunteer at Southern…
I have now been volunteering with Edwards Street Fellowship Center for two years. During the first semester of my service, I worked at the Edwards Street Thrift Store. I enjoyed that experience, but I feel as though my skills allow me to have a greater impact on the community at Edwards Street Food Pantry. Every…
This semester I got a better idea of how I can serve even throughout the circumstances that we, the world, has had to face within the past year. Even though it has been challenging it makes me much more aware of the need of servant leaders. I have been able to use what I learned…
This semester, I chose to once again visit Zooniverse for virtual volunteering. Instead of choosing service in my field, however, I decided to branch out into the field of science. The project Notes from Nature – Invertebrate Time Machine transcribes older marine invertebrate labels into a database that consolidates the information for research. As a…
This has been my 4th semester serving with Southern Pines Animal Shelter. Wondering what’s kept me serving here for so long? Well let me tell you! When I first began working with SPAS, I started out helping with tasks such as washing dishes and laundry. However, I saw how these tasks, simple as they may…
I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to volunteer through the Zooniverse platform this past semester. With the restrictions revolving around Covid-19, I know for many students and myself it was difficult to find places where we could go to physically give back. So I am so happy that I could still contribute…
This past semester I was called down to Key West, FL, to help out an aunt of mine, who is disabled with Multiple Sclerosis. I had online classes for the spring semester, so going down there and still doing my classes was not a problem. I was able to help my aunt out by driving…
Hello, my name is Lina May! This was my second semester to volunteer at Christian Services by doing Meals on Wheels. Fighting hunger is something I’ve always been passionate about and have continued to be involved in. Christian Services is an excellent organization that I have really enjoyed working with. They provide so much help…
