Laura is a new volunteer at Soul. This is her 4th shift. Laura knows what it is like to be vulnerable.
I started at Soul in 2017 doing Wednesday Lunch service and now volunteer doing Monday Breakfast Shift each week which I love. I choose to volunteer to give back to the community and do what I can to help as many people as I can, one small gesture of kindness has the power to carry on through the world as a small ripple.
I would recommend volunteering to friends and people. It brings new meaning and perspective on life outside of your own.
For some of our guests, it is so much more than just a meal. A simple smile or talk means the world to our Soul Guests, and I know the meal is important, but I believe the most rewarding part is talking to them.
