Samaritan Center, Syracuse, NY
I began volunteering weekly at the Samaritan Center, a downtown Syracuse soup kitchen for the homeless and hungry in 4th grade and continue to volunteer there presently when I am home from college. Since 1981, the Samaritan Center has been working to fight hunger in the Syracuse community by providing nutritious, hot meals at breakfast and dinner 365 days a year- no questions asked. My years at the Samaritan Center inspired my love of community service. For more information or to volunteer, visit http://www.samcenter.org.
