REFLECTION...

So, Tuesday our blogging class group visited Baldwin Center. At first I didn't know what to think or what to expect. My mind tried to envision what it might look like, what types of people might be there and things I would maybe see at a shelter. Well, the problem was that I've never been to a shelter before or the soup kitchen or any volunteering work for the less fortunate (sad, I know:(). Anyhow, sorry to say, it wasn't at all what I thought it would be. I guess I kind of wanted to experience more hands on...although we did "touch" all of those canned foods:) lol! But when I left, I did feel as though I did a good deed.

I noticed that there weren't many people working and I found it surprising that it wasn't busy. I thought that organization was lacking and I think that more should be invested into the center: more workers, new and more equipment, painting, etc. just an over all better facility inside and out. Maybe more programs to offer to the community. I came a little late, so I don't know what all I missed during the intro.
