10/31/2021 0 Comments Taking Matters Into Our Own HandsAs many of the readers that have been following our journey may know, our group has struggled finding shelters that will accept our assistance. We have reached out to many, and heard back from none. Because the websites of the shelters haven’t been updated recently, our group wonders if shelters are even accepting assistance during the pandemic. Our group has felt lost and defeated as we have made little to no progress with the whole purpose of our project, connecting with the people. We even came close to changing our project entirely, but we decided not to give up. We have prepared bags that include hygiene products and non-perishable foods, but have been unable to give them out as we had hoped to go through this process through an organization. Because of our struggles with trying to find an organization that will get back to us, we decided to take matters into our own hands as we had first planned to do.
This past Thursday, our group decided to meet to hand out the bags we had made during Week 3. We gave out three bags in total. One was to a mother who was struggling, the others were to two men who claimed that anything helped. We didn’t see many people, which can be viewed as a blessing. We went into this hoping to form connections with the people we helped, but with being in a line of busy traffic, there wasn’t much time to do so. Although this hadn’t gone exactly as we had hoped, we’re thankful to be helping. In the following weeks, we hope to go out into the community as much as possible. We plan to give out the rest of our supply bags, along with blankets and hand warmers. We’ve also talked about making cookies to give out during the holiday season. Although we haven’t met our goal yet in forming connections with those less fortunate, we as a group have grown closer with each other through this project.
