I do volunteer work at a local homeless shelter. Since I work in the kitchen, I'm only giving food out, and not seeing things like our guests not being able to climb into upper bunks.

I will say that my work in the homeless shelter is immensely gratifying. Our guests are highly appreciative. I very much enjoy fixing and serving food to them.

I cannot begin to imagine what it might be like to be homeless. At various times in my life I've been relatively poor, to the point where a free meal made a huge difference in my food budget. But I was always able to pay my rent and my basic expenses. Lucky me.
