On October 28^th, I participated in “Into the Streets” with the organization Alpha Phi Omega, so I couldn’t volunteer with the Rose House team. Regardless, I was happy to have been able to participate in this amazing, eventful day. My team volunteered with the Ithaca Childcare Community Center, and instead of working with the children, we actually scrubbed down and cleaned the whole place top to bottom. The owner explained how during the week she often does not have time to clean it during the week as thoroughly as she would want to since it is so busy. It was amazing being able to see how happy it made her. She was truly grateful, and it is this type of work for why I joined Alpha Phi Omega – for the amazing community service opportunities and seeing an immediate difference made.
