Iona in Mission (IIM): Miami Trip - Day 6

Camillus House

"The last day of my Miami trip I had the opportunity to volunteer at Camillus House in downtown Miami. The Camillus House is a non-profit organization founded by the Good Shepard Brothers and provides shelter, showers, clothing and substance abuse programs to the homeless. With my past experience co-coordinating the Midnight Run on campus, I was able to use my gifts and talents to provide a hospitable environment for individuals suffering from homelessness.  It was a moving experience to be a part of.  I met wonderful people.  I felt blessed that I had the opportunity to help those less fortunate than myself and witness the enduring power of the human condition."
