Through Catholic Heart Workcamp, students are able to travel to different cities around the nation and go out into the community to serve. The camp I attended was in Nashville, Tennessee and I volunteered in the Giving Garden. The Giving Garden is operated by the Franklin First United Methodist Church and strives to provide fresh produce to those in need. My group spent the week weeding corn fields, harvesting tomatoes and digging up old plants. It was hot and humid and the work was tiring, but the company was a joy to be around.
