REPORT OF PHILANTHROPY 2018-19
The intention of our Difference Makers series is to inspire our community to live lives of purpose, meaning, service, and accomplishment - to be Difference Makers. One student from the class of 2019 and her family have been volunteering two Sundays a month at Food on Foot since she was in third grade. When asked about her experience with volunteering she said, “It’s a really great experience to go and help others.” And when asked whether the experience changed her view of the homeless, she shared, “I can’t really remember if I had any opinions on homelessness when I was little. But I think because I grew up with Food on Foot, I see the problem for what it really is. Some of them are the stereotypical people with addictions who just don’t want to do anything, but most of them do hope for change and do want to change themselves in order to succeed in life.”
“It’s a really great experience to go and help others.” Katie Brauer entered Berkeley Hall in Nursery and graduated with the Class of 2019. She is a freshman at Marymount High School and continues to volunteer with her family.
