Yesterday, I had the opportunity to volunteer at a small church called Powerhouse in Watts. If you’re unfamiliar with Watts, it’s a neighborhood in South Central near Compton. I wish I had images to share but given it was my first time and the Powerhouse people weren’t familiar with me yet, I didn’t want them to feel uncomfortable.
Our church did a back-to-school backpack fundraiser which consisted of getting 100 new backpacks and filling them with school supplies for all the low income kids of that church.
