The day I went to volunteer at the Denver Rescue Mission, I was very excited and curious to find out what I would be doing. I figured out how to get there and then took the lightrail downtown. Once I arrived in downtown Denver, I asked some people how to get to the DRM and eventually figured it out. It was quite a bit of a walk to get there, but it was pretty manageable. When I got there, I signed in and met the other volunteers who I ended up working with that day.
Some of the duties I partook in were cleaning out the trash and filling the gargbage cans with trash bags. I also helped by filling up the pitchers and setting up tables that were needed to feed the homeless people for dinner. In addition, I assisted others in bringing food out and moving things around. I worked in the backroom area where I had to move stuff around as well as preparing food for other meals such as cutting bagles and bringing other important items to the tables.
There were many chores which I was able to perfrom while volunteering at the DRM. The day pasted by very fast and wish that I could of stayed longer. Even though it was short, I was able to accomplish a lot and make the most use of my time. Similar to Project Homeless Connect, I still enjoyed working with the homeless people although the tasks that I performed were much different from each other.
