Volunteering
Wednesday, November 23, 2005
Richard called for people to volunteer last week to dispatch food to homeless people. I signed up and went with him along with another two international students from Vanderbilt this noon. It's an eye opening experience for sure. I learned more about some of the reasons behind people being homeless and what the church is doing to help homeless. I have to admit that I had assumed why people do not go to work and would rather stay on the streets. Although I didn't talk much with the customers I was serving today, I definitely had the most direct contact with this invisible subgroup of the society. I hope to join the church's effort to help them in the coming years.
