I volunteered for the creative reuse program for labor of love. There, volunteers sorted throughout a variety of donated items such as greeting cards, envelopes, basket stuffing, etc. While sorting through envelopes and greeting cards, I couldn't help but think about those who struggle to afford small gestures of kindness such as a greeting card. Creative reuse now makes that possible by selling donated items such as those to simultaneously reduce waste and allow those to make fair use of those goods. I learned that even volunteering a few hours of time can deeply impact the community and serve its needs. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would definitely do it again.
