    Homeless Observation

    I attended a soup kitchen for the homeless at a Hospitality Center located at the Charles Town Presbyterian Church and also a fundraiser event to benefit the Jefferson County Homeless Coalition. At the soup kitchen, I helped volunteer’s setup tables and chairs for prospective patrons to dine. Guests had formed a line outside the doors of the church and waited patiently to be admitted. Once dining hours commenced, volunteers welcomed guests to be seated. Upon entering the building and finding a seat guests were waited on at their respective tables by volunteers and treated as any other patron who would dine in a restaurant. After the meal service concluded, guests departed and volunteers worked together to clean up the dining hall.…

    “She lives with a tribe of homeless teens- Runaways and throwaways, kids who have no place to go to other than the cold city streets, and no family except for one another. Abused, abandoned and forgotten, they struggle against the cold, hunger, and constant danger” (“Can’t get there from here” by Todd strasser).
