Here we will feature some of our volunteers’ experiences and reflections. You can send your volunteer experience/reflection to us here. We are also introducing a #whyiserve page where we want hear from you about what motivates you to volunteer. You can send your thoughts and response to that here.
I.D.E.A. Store
- Post provided by Zhongmou Gu
“…serving at this store is wonderful… A seemingly destructive work was actually constructive and thus very interesting.”
Children’s Memorial Hospital Research Center
- Post provided by Yiwei Gong
“I didn’t expect this volunteering to be a fun work. However, at the end, I found the routine work was interesting, and I enjoyed working with those researchers… Through this volunteering experience, I became detail-oriented and even more organized than before.”
Hands-On Event
- Post provided by Rachel Anderson
“It was such a great experience and inspirational to see over a hundred members of my church at the event. ”
Eastern Illinois Prom Benefit
- Post provided by Lily Tam & Jessica Gao
“…it was so awesome seeing people reliving their prom days! Overall, I had a great time helping out at the event and I would work with the Eastern Illinois Food Bank again!” -Lily Tam
“To say it was a well organized event is an understatement. From a silent auction (including a brand new car!) to the delicious food, the event was definitely one of the more interesting events I’ve ever volunteered for.” – Jessica Gao
