The º£½ÇÊÓƵ Community Service Group (Jake, Casey, Lili, Chris, Mia, Jaron, Hailey, and Jessica) volunteered to serve lunch in the Part of the Solution (POTS) Community Dining Room in November.POTS is a non-profit organization in the Bronx that believes that every person should have access to the essentials of life and the support necessary to achieve stability, and ultimately self-sufficiency.

POTS provides a variety of comprehensive and coordinated services including but not limited to a: Community Dining Room, Food Pantry, Mail Services, Barbershop, Clothing Room, Shower Facilities, Legal Clinic, and Case Management Services.

Below are two student reflections indicative of the group’s overall sentiment:

"We sometimes focus on our own issues and don't have the thought to care about others...the trip opened up something in me to think outside of myself when I can." - º£½ÇÊÓƵ student

"[The manager at POTS] helped you to understand that when you have a job, you can do it for yourself. You may not need the help you think you do." - º£½ÇÊÓƵ student
