UCOM's pilot week wrapped up today with one last trip to the Food Bank. The youth packed up over 1,000 lunches!! The regular workers in the kitchen at the Food Bank, complimented our groups on their hard work and their willingness to work. They said how nice it was to see young people wanting to work, compared to some of the youth they get in the kitchen who are working off community service hours. So, bravo! to the group!
The second half of the group ventured into downtown to pass out cold bottles of water. The youth took 150 bottles and passed them out at the West Side catholic Center and the immediate area. Matthew C. said, "I thought the concept was great and touching, but I think next time we should distribute more water." More waters! Wow!
At the end of the day the group was challenged to take what they learned this week here in Cleveland and use that information and those experiences to help out an agency in Chicago. Either as a group or an individual. Because "you can't know what you don't know until you know it. But once you know it, you can't not know it!"
