Matthew Schott, MBA, radiation safety specialist, Department of Environmental Health and Safety<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Written by Kristen Zapata<\/a><\/h4>\n

Matthew Schott, a radiation safety specialist in the Department of Environmental Health and Safety, has found a way to live out his values through meaningful volunteer work with the San Antonio Food Bank<\/a>, Habitat for Humanity<\/a> and other organizations. Currently a master\u2019s student studying philosophy, Schott\u2019s academic focus on ethics and human values has led him to explore practical ways to make a difference, and volunteering has provided him with real-world insight into concepts like duty, responsibility and the greater good.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, for me, this was an easy decision,\u201d Schott said after learning that the food bank also services the region of Southwest Texas. \u201cNot only could I help my community, but I could also help smaller communities surrounding San Antonio. The San Antonio Food Bank also works with another nonprofit called DaisyCares<\/a> that provides for pets. It is incredible what these two organizations can do with the money, food and time that have been donated.\u201d<\/p>\n

Schott has sorted food, organized food drives and served meals. Through Habitat for Humanity, he has worked to build affordable housing, witnessing firsthand the appreciation and hard work of families.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is an incredible feeling to work side-by-side with the future owner of the house you are working in,\u201d Schott said. \u201cThe homeowners and their families are always so grateful for whatever help is there for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

He sees this work as an opportunity to live out his principles through community involvement.<\/p>\n

\u201cFood and shelter are basic essentials, and they are critically important for our survival and well-being. Ultimately, volunteering requires so little on my end, but it offers so much to those in need,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Schott\u2019s goal is to inspire others to join him in giving back, knowing that even small actions can have a lasting impact on the lives of those in need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
