I like Welfare Square. It's inviting. The atmosphere is pleasant. The structure is appealing.
Last year I tried fitting the cannery into my schedule –
volunteering once a week or twice a month.
I’d work from 11:00 to 2:30 – fit great into my schedule as I was free
to drop Jenna off in the morning and get home before she was dropped off.
The hours have changed.
Now is 11:30 to 3:00 and Jenna is no longer getting dropped but I have
to go and pick her up. Going from the
cannery to her school in twenty minutes is really pushing it (especially now
that the construction is starting it’s way into monopolizing the road). So I will have to find another method for
volunteer hours.
I prefer the consistency of the dairy, pasta plant and cannery
as opposed to the inconsistency of the storehouse or the DI – though I have had
some fun jobs at the DI (Deseret Industries) I’ve also wasted trips driving to
designated locations (I’m actually not close to any of it) deseretindustries.lds.org and have recently
learned that I’ll need a work order from my bishop in order to volunteer at
DI. But I want to feel useful – not
something mundane. I can do that at
home.
Jenna’s school is testing these next two weeks and then they
will play until school lets out – so I haven’t been putting in much time at the
school either. And as I’m no longer on a
set schedule with mom I feel like I can give more of my time – well this month
anyway. I’ve never done much with
volunteer work while Jenna’s home for the summer. Maybe I’ll just wait until school starts back
up again before I start in with my pathetic dedication.
