A chronicle of Missouri State immersion service trips

Serving with HOW

Housing Opportunities for Women

Today we helped out around the office of Housing Opportunities for Women. This organization recently received donations of clothing from several organizations that we helped sort. These clothes went to women in need who utilize their program. I was surprised by how many people donated to Housing Opportunities for Women. I wish that in Springfield more people donated to charities or good causes. Perhaps people in Springfield do but I have not seen or experienced it yet.

Working with the Housing Opportunities for Women reminded me of some volunteer work I do with the Convoy of Hope. I would highly recommend that Missouri state students go on an immersion trip to experience new cities and new charities and organizations. And if students can’t go on bear breaks I would encourage them to find a new organization that they can help out within Springfield.
