When I first was given this assignment a sense of joy and happiness came over me because I had never been asked by a management class to collaborate with the community. The fact that the school of Business at FIU recognizes that giving back to the community and participating in community service is part of success is very moving. As I drove home after class I began to think of all of the different possibilities that there are to give back to the community. When I came to a stop at a light there was a homeless mother and her child asking for food and that is when I decided that I wanted to participate in feeding the homeless. After much searching I decided to volunteer for one of my friends Non profit organization which focuses in feeding the homeless in downtown Miami. On the day of volunteering my group and I meat up with more volunteers and the members of the organization in midtown Miami to prepare food and organize clothes that people had brought to give away. During the preparation session the group of about 20 people made and assembly line to prepare lunch bags. Inside of each lunch bag we provided a sandwich, 1 banana, granola bar, and a bottle of water. After we assembled an estimated 250 lunch bags drove to downtown Miami and began walking the streets. As we started to pass out the bags all different types of individuals (homeless) began to approach us with excited faces. During this time some of the individuals where very friendly and interacted with me I got to share time with them and converse with some of them, their stories where very moving. I was surprised to find that a lot of them where homeless because they had disabilities and could not find a job that would permanently hire them. During this experienced I learned a lot and was able to realize that there are a lot of people suffering from hunger for many different reasons. Since I first began this semester I have already attended 2 of their monthly meets and will continue to participate as a member of Food4Thoughts.
