Service: 3 hours
Over Christmas Break, I worked with other Key Club members to help package toys and clothing for underprivileged children. As volunteers, our task was to put all of the donated toys and clothes into boxes in preparation for distribution the next day. I'm grateful for this experience that allowed me to serve the community during the season of giving. Every Christmas, I receive numerous gifts that I have come to expect and to take for granted. Packaging the toys reminded me to be grateful for my countless blessings. Additionally, it reminded me that Christmas is not about receiving, but about giving, sharing, loving, and celebrating a joyous time. It is such a gift to be able to help spread the Christmas Spirit. These small gifts for the underprivileged children bring them so much joy. I'm thankful for this opportunity that allowed me to give a little this Christmas.
