I spent most of my weekends in the month of January volunteering. First, I volunteered at the Habitat for Humanity restore. The Restore is a second-hand goods shop that sells furnishings, amongst other things, at a marked down price. The money from the Restore helps fund the construction done during build days. The next day I worked at the NFC playoff game selling raffle tickets. This was by far the most fun experience. Not only did I get to see the Saints win a playoff game at home but I helped raise money for the United Negro College Fund. The following week I helped SOUL Nola with planting trees in my neighborhood. I enjoyed planting trees because I got to instantly see the fruits of my labor. We also got free food which always makes it that much more worthwhile. In fact it was so fun I did it again the following week. This time we grabbed a few drinks after at the Wayward Owl Brewery.
