Volunteering

Six days a week, for the past eleven years, there is a pastor just outside of Incheon, South Korea who serves the homeless with soup and (now that winter is fast approaching) a mitten and coat distribution.

Jeff caught wind of a volunteer opportunity to come pitch in, so we went this past Sunday to try and lend a helping hand.

The pastor, a bunch of members from his congregation, and this handful of foreigners all helped set up, tear down, serve, and distribute.  Amazingly, it only ran for an hour total before the whole shebang was cleaned up and packed away again.

It was a calm night of trying to figure out where my help was best needed... nothing ground-breaking or earth-shattering, but it felt good to get out and be a part of a nonprofit again.
