I had to get up at 5 in the morning on a Sunday to go to the church. Once there, me and my mom were greeted by warm welcomes. The workers here were kind and welcoming and shoutout to the security guard for being witty. My mom and I had to go into a room with a lot clothing racks where we would have our own station to fold and put up clothes to help heat up the homeless from the cold. After about an hour, the homeless started to arrive and head into the room where they would go up to different stations for certain clothing items which we would help them find. Being here, I learned the struggles with being a homeless person. Originally, I viewed them as lazy and not deserving of my time but when going here I found that they have been poor ever since they grew up so it was never their fault in the first place that they couldn't gain enough money. To my surprise, they were actually pretty chill and funny. I'm glad I was able to go here because now I have a more wider perspective on the troubles of poverty. I will make sure to revisit this place and help out from now. Some feedback I could give is that maybe they should restock a bit more on medium sized underwear as there wasn't enough to hand out.
