I had a great time serving at KARM. KARM is one of my favorite places to complete my service. The employees are always very welcoming and helpful. We helped them stock the shelves with new products as well as organize the existing products to ensure the store looked clean and organized. We were able to help the employees with any task that they needed us to complete.

For this service opportunity I went with my friends to a KARM location and helped out the staff with whatever they needed. We helped stock shelves and keep the store looking clean and organized. This event was very organized and well set up. We were able to be all the tasks that the employees needed our help with. I have been to KARM stores before and it is always great to see the impact 4 hours of volunteer work can make.

For this service opportunity we walked around and pulled out invasive species from the ground. We got to learn about ijams history and the impact that they have made over time. I also learned about different invasive species and how they affect our environment. It was very nice to walk around in nature and spend time outside while also making an impact. Even in the short time we were out there we were able to help significantly and pull up many of the garlic mustard plants that were invading the area.
