Breakfast at the mission.

Los Angeles Ca

This is to discuss what happened the months of June 2014 to August 2014. Over this time a student from Southern Utah University went to the Union Rescue mission located on skid row in down town Los Angeles. While at the mission this student served breakfast to the homeless of Los Angeles at the same time she was receiving school credit.

People who enter the mission are given food and sometimes even a bed to stay in. During the day there is a recreational room for both men and women separately that they can charge their phones in or sit and watch TV. The mission serves 4 different groups 3 times a day. Volunteers work alongside residence of the mission. Very often the volunteers and residences know each other very well and create an interesting repour. 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.

The student was from Southern Utah University and was here to complete her EDGE project. This is something that her university requires of all its students in order for them to graduate. The EDGE program is designed to give students at SUU an advantage that other students.

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.
