I have only been to one and it was a few years ago, but I remember the experience and what a shock it was to realize just how many people were actually homeless. I think that everyone should go visit a soup kitchen, especially around this time of Thanksgiving, to grasp an understanding of just how lucky we are, and to feel a sense of satisfaction each time a homeless person thanks you for volunteering.jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14763460805718409348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332675100778516751.post-12359726272634685632008-11-19T08:11:00.000-06:002008-11-19T08:11:00.000-06:00Living in certain places today can definetly shelt...Living in certain places today can definetly shelter you from the harsh realities of the outside world. Often we don't even consider the posibility that the word "hunger" has no true meaning to us because we've never FELT true hunger. That's why doing something like the can food drive in schools is so important. It helps prevent true hunger =)The Nose Job Galhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09234177241168539126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332675100778516751.post-8555107278893138202008-11-18T11:09:00.000-06:002008-11-18T11:09:00.000-06:00Money is such a struggle now more than ever.

These people all have their own families to care for, affecting over 200,000 people in all. The holidays are supposed to be a time of joy, where people can forget their struggles and sufferings. It is a time where everyone stands on common ground, no matter where they live or what their income is. It is great that your choir goes to the soup kitchen. I know that our school, and our chem class, are raising cans for these havens over the holidays. There isn't a greater feeling than the reward of giving, so everyone bring in cans!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10766449439512843581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332675100778516751.post-23930943933940196232008-10-30T20:55:00.000-05:002008-10-30T20:55:00.000-05:00When I was in eighth grade, we had an opportunity ...When I was in eighth grade, we had an opportunity to go to a less fortunate school. I went there and saw a dirty neighborhood with a run down school. The school did not have as good an education as we do. I totally agree we are in a bubble. Just miles away is a less fortunate community than us and most of us don't even realize it until we've witnessed it.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04951316331966756285noreply@blogger.com
