Pre-flection on Call to Action Day

On Call to Action Day we are providing service to others by preparing and giving out food/meals to the less fortunate. The program we plan on working with is Ecumenical Hunger Program located in East Palo Alto on October 11th, 2016. During this 5 hour program numerous gifts will be given out such as Food Boxes and Hot Meals. Call to Action Day connects to our Freshman Seminar classes through the Hallmarks of Notre Dame de Namur University. This is due to Hallmark 4 which is “we commit ourselves to community service” because it is based upon the outcomes of an NDNU student through service learning. It is nice to know that I will be volunteering and giving back to my community on my birthday. However, because Call to Action Day is on my birthday it gives me a sense that I am doing something worthwhile for the people who are in need instead of focusing on myself which touches my heart dearly. When I volunteer I see the lives I have helped with my service which makes me emotional and realize I shouldn’t take anything for granted. Everything we have in our lives is not set and stone. I’m looking forward to giving back to my community and seeing it on the bright side.
