Volunteers and residence get a chance to talk during a tiny break between groups of people to serve when they can talk. Their conversations vary day to day.

Chelsea “Bells” Deutschlander Community Engagement Center Summer 2014         Project Summary My project was to volunteer at the Union Rescue Mission, URM. The URM is located in down town Los Angeles, it is a homeless shelter. The location of the URM is generally called Skid Row, and it is also a tent city of sorts.   As a volunteer at the URM there are different opportunities to choose from but I chase to work in the kitchen. While there I served breakfast to the people who came into the mission. There were four different groups, program men single women families and gateway men, that got served three times a day 7 days a week and 365 days a year.   Project Highlights My project helped me get my faith back. Before I started this I had lost faith in other people, in God and in myself. I started out as going to the mission because I thought it was just going to be an easy 50 hours. At the end of my time there I realized that what I thought bad happened to me and that I couldn’t believe in anything anymore was nothing to what others had lived though, and they still had their faith. I also learned that when you’re cutting onions that if you put some lemon juice on the cutting board as you’re cutting them that your eyes won’t water! Honestly was the most amazing thing ever. From My Journal “They gave me a nickname before I left. They are going to call me Sargent Chelsea from now on.”          The top picture is me and Ray. I spent most of my time with him and Zero who is in the hat in the bottom picture. They gave me the nickname that everyone called me.   This picture was taken during our break between groups. Zero didn’t really like taking pictures and I got this one by chance. I also got him smiling which was a minor miracle.

About this Blog

 

 

Hello and thank you for reading my blog.

My name is Chelsea.

This blog is to share about one of the best experiences of my life. the experience was my time at the Union Rescue Mission in downtown Los Angeles.

The homeless community in Los Angeles is something that everyone can see. As a tourist or as a resident. The Union Rescue Mission serves as a place for men, women and children to go to “escape the dangerous streets of skid row.” I plan on going to the URM and spending full days at the mission. This can be something in the way of serving food or even walking around skid row with cold water bottles in what looks to be a very hot summer even for California. I plan on being able to complete a minimum of 50 hours.

If you read all the post the way I sign off this will make sense. Enjoy and God Bless.

 

Sergeant Chelsea.
