On November 17th, many members of DSWS volunteered their time at three different places. I volunteered at the Goodwill on High Street. We spent most of our time helping out around the store, organizing clothing, picking up empty hangers, taking out broken ones, removing old clothing and putting clothing back in its appropriate section. We did this from 11 until 4, after which we met back on campus.

On October 21st, A group of scholars and other volunteers went to the Columbus Marathon’s water stop on Woodruff avenue and volunteered our time. We started at 7am setting up tables and filling cups with water and Gatorade for the runners. Our first runners didn’t come until 10 and it started off slow but pretty soon, we had hundreds of runners coming through and we handed water and Gatorade to any of them who wanted it. Runners were coming until around noon, most of the runners were through by that time. We helped clean up and were all wrapped up by 1pm.
