Ever since I was a little girl, I remember volunteering with my family at The Mustard Seed. Poverty and homelessness is an issue that affects tens of thousands of people in our province. It has been a heartwarming experience to be able to help the less fortunate get back on their feet. I have met some amazing people and heard dozens of eye-opening personal stories.
When I first started my undergraduate degree, I joined the University of Calgary Mustard Seed Chapter. Pictured is my executive team where we donated $3,500 to The Mustard Seed all thanks to the generosity of those in our community.
