Went to Robison Memorial United Church to feed the poor/homeless. I had no idea what to expect but I am encouraged. Most of the people who came in were very polite. I was serving drinks (milk, juice and water) and it was really hot today, so everyone kept coming back for more, especially milk. People always said thank you.
I felt pretty comfortable and almost asked a guy his name. Hopefully next time. I still have to get my mind into a position where I don't just think of the homeless as a group of people but as individual people with hopes and dreams and opinions and, as most were men, a need for respect.
Thanks to Derek M. for showing me the ropes.
