PROVIDES & Me
A famous person once said, "None of us has gotten where we are solely by pulling ourselves up from our own bootstraps. We got here because somebody bent down and helped us." Therefore, I joined PROVIDES because I think it is my time to bent down and offer a helping hand to lift and shine.

PROVIDES + me = bittersweet memories. I've met some of the most incredible people in this organization. We've worked together and experienced disappointments, happiness, and all the emotions in between. Sometimes we would get frustrated and annoyed at one another, but we always reach the end supporting each other. PROVIDES is a memory that I will cherish beyond my college years.

PROVIDES & Me
Single-handedly, none of us can put an end to world hunger but changing even one life is worth the effort. I like PROVIDES because it gives us an opportunity to work together to make a difference in the lives of children across the globe. Together, we can work on saving the world, one child at a time.
