MEET ALESSANDRO - SERVING AT RENEW QUEENS

Last year I had the opportunity to serve at the Renew Queens Easter Festival and I would love to share my experience with you.

First of all, I always liked to serve in the community because it was something that I learned a long time ago from my father. He used to say; “the more we give, the happier we feel”. I believe there is nothing more precious than giving up your own time for an important cause.

At Renew Queens when we get together to serve it’s different. You feel something special right away, I find it to be very fulfilling. It’s hard to explain.

Specifically, at the Easter Festival, I remember feeling peace, happiness, and joy to be part of such an amazing event.

Hundreds of families came with kids and they were all very excited about the egg hunt, carnival games, and music.

I was able to see the happiness on everybody’s faces; kids smiling, and parents laughing. I especially loved watching the parents try to hold their kids before the Egg Hunting began. I remember looking around and feeling a natural sense of accomplishment as the community came together to have a good time.

Overall, I walked away feeling proud to have the opportunity to contribute to helping and serving the community in such a positive way. To be part of the change is always good and satisfying.
