The Healing Center
What a wonderful outing this was to go to The Healing Center! This awesome place houses various components to help the Latino immigrant maneuver through life in Ohio. Different departments such as clothing, food, household items, and shelter can be addressed as soon as you walk through the door. We took a tour of different departments beginning with intake which consisted of seven cubicles. Next, we went through the children's hangout that had a rock wall, flat screen TV, and an infant care room - all in top condition! We toured the warehouse which was immaculate and organized well. The clothing store looked like a section out of Macy's where parents can shop for clothing with a card and walk out with a bag full of needed items twice a month. This is crucial for most as they may come from warmer climates and may not have coats, sweaters, or insulated boots. There are rooms for Latino students to worship on Sunday and a chapel for anyone who needs to fellowship and pray with others. I will absolutely volunteer there in the children's center.

I agree with you, it will be a perfect place to volunteer as well as bring our students to do community service. The are in a strategic location which I never know existed and they are well structured.
