City Impact
Noah Blakely
PACT Trip #6
This day spent at City Impact was a little different than what I had done previously. On the previous Saturday, City Impact held their "Conference" where they serve over 2,000 people with meals and health service. Since I could not attend this event, I went up to help a couple days after to help with whatever I could. Most of the work I did was recovering from the "Conference" and helping them clean up from the big day. This trip was a little less emotional and more laborious. We still went out and talked to homeless people and did a Café with free meals and a service, however, it was mostly cleaning up and moving a lot of stuff in the thrift store and other places. This time I felt like I accomplished more because the work that I was doing needed to be done and I was able to get the job done. I was upset that I could not do more service with people in the community, but I believe that what I did to help City Impact was much needed and helped them get tasks done so they could move on to doing more great things for the community.
