Narrative Summary

So this civic service was not a new experience to me but after learning more about our government, it was a bit more eye opening. The location I served at was in just outside of downtown Phoenix. Our first trip down to Andre House was when we prepared and served dinner to homeless people. Homeless is a nice way of putting it for these people on the streets. They literally spend every hour of every day on the sidewalk in the shade and do nothing. These people have nothing and some are psychologically incapable of getting back on their feet. There was a man dress as Scooby Doo the first time we went… no joke. The second time we served, we helped sort out clothing in the basement. Andre House supplies clothes, food, showers, blankets, and toiletries. It helps the homeless people to get by and allows them to healthy as possible. The surroundings of Andre House are filled with a few hundred people with no money to their name. It felt good to do what I could to supply the less fortunate because every life is equal. And the most interesting thing about this experience was that a few people who lived in the area owned a hat that read “Census 2010.”
