I am a fairly new resident of Las Vegas so I am always looking for ways to get more connected with the city I now call home. I heard through a friend that volunteers were needed to help out with dinner service at the mission and decided to sign up. The people who organize and run the kitchen do an amazing job. The kitchen and dining room were all set for dinner service by 5pm. Diners entered in groups and were served quickly and with love. I would like to see my school's cafeteria run this smoothly and with such ease. Seeing the love and caring of the volunteers and organizers was very infectious. The hour passed very quickly and then it was time to clean up. I would describe my first experience there as very intense and emotional. Admittedly it was tough to see over 400 people in need of a warm meal. I am so thankful that there is a warm and welcoming place like the LVRM to give a bit of love to those who are in need.
