As part of our Lenten journey each S.I.T.E. teen was given $40 (funds collected from our summer bottle drive) to be used in Random Acts of Kindness. The only ārulesā were: they were encouraged to pray to see where the Holy Spirit would lead them, they needed to donate to at least two different organizations/needs and they were to journal their donations and experiences. Each week will be featured a teenās journal.
Mindy:
- DAKOTA HIGH SCHOOL FOOD DRIVE: Went to store and bought canned food to donate to āCougar Closetā at school. It felt good to help out in the community, knowing I was able to provide a student with something they couldnāt get themselves.
- ST. JUDEāS HOSPITAL: When I was younger, a kid I went to elementary school with sadly passed away from cancer at age of five. I chose to donate to St. Judeās in memory of him, hoping it will help other kids with cancer.
- FAMILY FRIEND IN VIETNAM: My Momās friend (from Vietnam), is not as fortunate as us. She struggles to provide for her family. Every year my Mom sends over money and I decided to give the rest of my money to help her out. I felt happy being able to help someone that I knew needed help.
