Service Day
Helping clean the park and the house on Thursday was a great experience for me. I am from Sioux City so I heard about the flood almost everyday, but going out and seeing it with my own eyes on Thursday is really something you can't describe. It was crazy to see how some of the residents literally tore everything out of their house in order to preserve it. The house we went to looked like it was currently being built, but really the owners probably tore out all of their carpet, trim, etc. Seeing these homes really put into perspective that these people will be out of their home for a long time and not everyone is able to find a different place to stay. Before Thursday I didn't really think the flood was that big of a deal but I definitely do now.
