Introduction to Community Service

This Christmas was undoubtedly really tough for a lot of families. Although many families are better off this year than they were last year, it is still a struggle. For my community service I wanted to help bring Christmas families who couldn't afford it. Every year, my parents and many of their friends help put on Operation E.L.F., an event that takes donated toys, clothing, appliances, and much more to give to families in need.
A couple days before Christmas, the event is held, usually in a highschool gymnasium. There are families of all sizes that sign up for this program, and a group of about two or more people will get presents for a particular family. After the event, you personally deliver the presents to the families houses.
The event this year was a huge success and I have always participated and will continue to do so.
