How does your CP interface with local government units? Be specific. Are there any leaders in particular who have had an important impact on the success or development of your CP?
My community partner, Table of Plenty, is a privately run non-profit organization. Therefore, there is no interface with local government units. At the Table of Plenty there are various leaders who have impacted on the success of this organization. First and foremost, Sister Jeanette, she is a prominent leader in this organization by making sure that everything runs smoothly. Sister Jeanette took over the Table of Plenty from Fr. Charlie. Ever since I joined this organization, things have ran smoothly and thanks to Sister Jeanette and other leaders such as Debbe Kennedy, this organization continues to impact hundreds of people.

Going to Table of Plenty continues to be a gratifying experience. It makes me joyous seeing familiar and new faces. Going to Table of Plenty and forming new relationships with co-workers and guest has also been memorable. However, since the majority of the people are old, there has been a lot of guest and volunteers who have suffered medical issues. Just hearing about it breaks my heart because they are people who I have grown to love. For example, one of our guest had a stroke and was in comma for a couple of weeks. He lived in government housing. While he was in comma he was evicted and they gave away his home. Now he has no home and no where to sleep. It breaks my heart because he suffered a severe stroke and to top it off he lost his home. It is very unfortunate and unfair.
