Dallas, TX. ]]> 2017-11-11 05:21:04 UTC https://padlet.com/crystal_ortizz2887/2n53atblmq47/wish/205856280 crystal_ortizz2887 https://padlet.com/crystal_ortizz2887/2n53atblmq47/wish/205857113 I was first introduced to Metrocare Services when I went with my younger cousin because it was her first appointment for her Behavioral Treatment. I was fascinated with their services and saw how they have many events. Since it was around the time of the holidays when we went last year , that’s where I learned about how much they help their patients , especially those in need. ]]> 2017-11-11 05:45:24 UTC https://padlet.com/crystal_ortizz2887/2n53atblmq47/wish/205857113 crystal_ortizz2887 https://padlet.com/crystal_ortizz2887/2n53atblmq47/wish/205857158 I was able to experience seeing the joy in the families face when they received the bags of food because many of the patients at Metrocare are low income. I am excited to be able to volunteer for the rest of the holidays with Christmas approaching as well, since that is when they need volunteers the most. ]]> 2017-11-11 05:46:29 UTC https://padlet.com/crystal_ortizz2887/2n53atblmq47/wish/205857158 crystal_ortizz2887 https://padlet.com/crystal_ortizz2887/2n53atblmq47/wish/206543376 2017-11-14 01:29:51 UTC https://padlet.com/crystal_ortizz2887/2n53atblmq47/wish/206543376 crystal_ortizz2887 https://padlet.com/crystal_ortizz2887/2n53atblmq47/wish/206550491 2017-11-14 02:11:52 UTC https://padlet.com/crystal_ortizz2887/2n53atblmq47/wish/206550491 crystal_ortizz2887 https://padlet.com/crystal_ortizz2887/2n53atblmq47/wish/206551072 Halloween had just passed, and the next holiday coming up was Thanksgiving. One of the biggest things they do at Metrocare Services is provide families with bags of food so they can have a nice Thanksgiving meal. With Thanksgiving just a few weeks away we had to collect canned foods , a bag of potato flakes(which I had never seen before) and a turkey. ]]> 2017-11-14 02:16:15 UTC https://padlet.com/crystal_ortizz2887/2n53atblmq47/wish/206551072 crystal_ortizz2887 https://padlet.com/crystal_ortizz2887/2n53atblmq47/wish/206567568 The hardest part was after all the canned food was collected we had to sort them out. The reason it was challenging was because there were a lot of cans to sort out & only two volunteers. ]]> 2017-11-14 04:12:11 UTC https://padlet.com/crystal_ortizz2887/2n53atblmq47/wish/206567568 crystal_ortizz2887 https://padlet.com/crystal_ortizz2887/2n53atblmq47/wish/206567643 I think that English 1301 had me do community service so i can get experience on helping others , and also even the smallest amount of time we volunteer betters the community in some way than when we don’t do volunteer at all. ]]> 2017-11-14 04:12:51 UTC https://padlet.com/crystal_ortizz2887/2n53atblmq47/wish/206567643 crystal_ortizz2887 https://padlet.com/crystal_ortizz2887/2n53atblmq47/wish/206568777 2017-11-14 04:21:08 UTC https://padlet.com/crystal_ortizz2887/2n53atblmq47/wish/206568777 crystal_ortizz2887 https://padlet.com/crystal_ortizz2887/2n53atblmq47/wish/206575274 2017-11-14 05:15:57 UTC https://padlet.com/crystal_ortizz2887/2n53atblmq47/wish/206575274 crystal_ortizz2887 https://padlet.com/crystal_ortizz2887/2n53atblmq47/wish/211264818 The impact was all the families that were being helped with and given the Thanksgiving dinner. ]]> 2017-11-29 06:51:36 UTC https://padlet.com/crystal_ortizz2887/2n53atblmq47/wish/211264818 crystal_ortizz2887 https://padlet.com/crystal_ortizz2887/2n53atblmq47/wish/211265145 With this being the second year I volunteer around this time of year, volunteering helps me appreciate everything I have, because some people have nothing compared to me. Volunteering at Metrocare Services has changed my perspective in life. ]]> 2017-11-29 06:54:02 UTC https://padlet.com/crystal_ortizz2887/2n53atblmq47/wish/211265145 crystal_ortizz2887 https://padlet.com/crystal_ortizz2887/2n53atblmq47/wish/211265907 2017-11-29 07:00:54 UTC https://padlet.com/crystal_ortizz2887/2n53atblmq47/wish/211265907
