The Mustard Seed, a Catholic Worker House, is an institution that is dedicated to feeding the hungry and homeless of the greater Worcester Area. Student volunteers can expect to help in serving meals prepared by local church groups, as well as to assist with clean up after meals are served.
One of the most valuable aspects of working at the Mustard Seed is the regular is the regular contact between volunteers and its clients, something that is often impossible at traditional soup kitchens.
One student described his volunteer experience as follows: "The relationships I have developed with the people who attend the Mustard Seed for meals have opened me up to a whole new world that I never knew existed. It has given me a greater appreciation for a life and has made me into a better person."
