On Sunday, November 27th, a group of ten IYCLAC members and friends volunteered at Union Rescue Mission (URM) to serve dinner to the homeless population by Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles. Our group helped prep breakfast for the following morning and served dinner to three groups in URM's rehabilitation programs: families, women, and men. In assembly line fashion, students put food on plates and passed them out to individuals. By the end of the evening we had served nearly 500 individuals.
It was great to see the smiles and gratitude on the faces of those we served--even if they did not have much. Having served just a few days after Thanksgiving, it was a great reminder that we have so much be thankful for: our homes, our beds, our families, being able to choose the meals we eat, and so much more. We are looking forward to continuing our work with URM and volunteering with them in the near future!
