St. Peter's- Kaia

Hi, my name is Kaia Dziekiewicz from St. Peter's Parish in Northbridge, MA. This was my first Young Neighbors and I am so happy that we went to Buffalo. My parish was assigned to Catholic Charities Food Bank in Lackawanna about ten minutes from Harvest House. With only nine people from my parish and the help from our site director Carolyn we accomplished things that would take the food bank one week in one day. We bagged over 600 dignity bags for homebound elders. Dignity bags include hygiene products, office supplies, cleaning supplies and other items that they might not have access to. My parish also gave out food to people in need on Friday. We visited Ladies of Charity that was associated with Catholic Charities and made 604 backpacks for grades K-12. Overall, this week has been eye-opening and inspired me to carry the light I received with me back home.
