When I first pulled up to the small house located on Tyree street, there was a line of vagrant and less fortunate people. My first task was to escort each individual to the back of the house to the pantry room. In the pantry, I had to give each person a plastic bag and they were able to choose a few items from the room. When they were done, they moved to the clothes closet to pick out a few pairs of clothes and/or shoes. If they need assistance with anything else, someone was there to help them with their needs. There was a specific amount of food each person was given but not a set amount of clothing. After I was done with one client, I repeated those steps with the next. Throughout the semester, we've talked about minorities in the United States. I have taken time out to actually observe the people around the community and I've realized how much they are suffering from several social problems such as economic inequalities, families and children living in poverty, and the inability to apply or be approved for jobs to have the opportunity to help their families. Charities and nonprofit organizations play a major role in helping families who aren't able to help

    Being active in National Charity League for six years, I have had the pleasure of working with many different philanthropies, my favorite being The Tualatin School House Pantry. Operating out of the basement of a church, the food bank helps to feed families in the community who are struggling financially. While my first few experiences at the food pantry were emotionally challenging, I found them to be very eye opening. I met many people from different backgrounds, yet they all shared the same hardship, the inability to afford food for themselves and their families. Wanting to do more for the recipients, I received training to be one of the personal shoppers.…

    F.A.R.M Cafe was the catalyst for my topic, and Bobby inspired me to think about the injustice that people with intellectual disabilities face. My first time there was in September, and I had a preconceived idea that it would similar to a soup kitchen, and I would be feeding homeless people. F.A.R.M Cafe stands from Feed All Regardless of Means, so I thought many homeless people would be there for a free meal. However, I was completely wrong with F.A.R.M Cafe you pay what you can, and if you can not either you work for an hour, or take a token in which someone has already paid for. Many of the workers are volunteers and a few get paid. An interesting characteristic about that cafe is that, much of their food is locally grown. My first day there, I was scheduled for a two hour shift. I was nervous, the only thing I could think about was if I was going to fit in. I knew no one, I had never severed food before, nor washed dishes in a restaurant kitchen. So, I just knew I was going to mess up, and make a fool of myself. I was wrong. Once I walked over the threshold, I was welcomed with open arms. The first person I met was Bobby. He ran up to me, and…

    Briefly describe what they look like. Both are integrated into groups ranging from infant to adult, which are also for the church and the community. An example of the youth community groups are youth groups for ages 13 through 17; one is called DITR (Diamonds in the Rough) for girls, and the mentoring group Boys to Men. In addition, this church provides programs that are too many to list; however, two examples listed here give an idea of the services that are available. One outreach is designed to evangelize to people that are incarcerated and their families. Another, is an outreach ministry called “Storehouse Ministry” that provides a page for people in need of food, clothing, and miscellaneous items. This page lists their pantry times and when available miscellaneous items, such as appliances or household items. This page is to assist impoverished people within their surrounding communities.

    However, it actually turned out that I had more in common with my African-American roommate, who was also came from a low-income household in Southern California, than I did with my 3rd generation Mexican-American roommate who came from a middle-class suburban city. I had no idea the impact that different generations and cultural differences outside of race have the ability to make until I actually experienced it. Thanks to this experience, I feel my culturally competency expanded to new horizons. As a social worker, I plan to take what I have learned from my experience and education of the transcultural perspective that San Jose State’s mission has established and practice it with people I work with. This will be one of the many ways I plan on contributing to the profession to promote social justice as well as advocate for the communities who consistently face oppression and social…

    So last week Kate and I received a list from Kate's mom. On that list was a bunch of different homeless organizations. We were worried that all of these organizations would shut us down before we even started because we wanted to be able to help out specific families, but organizations like to keep people anonymous and not state names or any information about people in their program. The first organization that we stopped at was called "Building A Generation". we met with the woman that runs that office and found out that the organization supports three different schools in the Redlands areas and their families. to be part of the program a family has to be below the poverty rate. we pitched our idea of making care packages and…
