About the Author

Hello! My name is Lucia Quinones and welcome to my presentation for my Service Learning project, done at Hope Helps Inc.! Now…what is Hope Helps? Glad you asked! It’s a non-profit organization run for the community, to help the community. In researching, I thought it was just a Food Pantry, similar to Knights Pantry but I ended up wrong. There's more to it!

Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement

Working at the HOPE Chest Thrift Store, I got to learn about looking through quality of clothing, talking with the community, staff members, cleaning up the store, and learning what it's like from an outsider's perspective vs a behind the scenes perspective on how workers are in the back. Main learning lessons, discipline and hard work can go a long way for impacting others. Everyone is doing their best and being the leader to see the background, leads to an open-mind. My goal was to work at a food pantry but it turned into working at a thrift store that needed my help. Any little bit helps.
