On the Scene: WorkFest 2016

“Yesterday I was working on the porch and it was cool to see it come together, you know. It was just a frame when we got here and then we added all the supports and began placing the planks. It’s amazing to see the progress – and now it’s almost finished.” – Laura, The Ohio State University

“People are people everywhere. Just because someone is living in poverty doesn’t mean they don’t feel the full range of emotions that we all feel. I like getting to know the families with whom we work – getting to share meals with them, hear their stories, and become a part of their lives.” – Neesa, University of South Florida

“For anyone considering coming to participate in WorkFest, or just considering volunteering with CAP in general, first I’d say ‘do it.’ But I’d also say ‘be careful.’ Because if you fall in love you’ll never be the same again. That’s what happened to me.” – Carlo, The Ohio State University
