Community service
has always been a passion of Albert Cyprys, who continues to donate his time to
a local New York City soup kitchen. He is proud of being a part of the effort
to feed the city’s hungry, and hopes to be active in the organization for many
years to come.
As a soup kitchen
volunteer, Albert Cyprys has served in a variety of functions. During the
kitchen’s morning shift, Cyprys’s duties have included preparing meals, setting
up and organizing the dining area for use, and providing a breakfast menu that
included fruit, coffee and pastries to hungry patrons. During the kitchen’s
afternoon shift, Albert Cyprys often partook in clearing off and cleaning
tables, greeting guests, washing dishes and serving the afternoon meals. He has
worked alongside many fellow volunteers who have helped to provide him the
direction and guidance he needed to be a more successful volunteer.
Albert Cyprys
believes the experience of working in a New York City soup kitchen has been an
incredibly eye-opening experience, showing him just how prevalent poverty and
hunger is throughout the Big Apple. Serving food to the hungry gave him a
better and deeper appreciation for what many of the city’s residents go through
on a daily basis, and showed him the importance of both the work he has done,
as well as the people that commit their time to the cause.
Albert Cyprys
makes time for volunteering whenever he can. Though he continues to be a busy
college student, he always sets aside time in his weekly schedule to help those
in need.
