The toughest part about last weekend was getting up at 4 a.m. on a Saturday! But as a member of the Knights of Columbus, I was happy to volunteer my time. After loading up our trucks with coffee tankards and bagged breakfasts, we headed out to make our deliveries.
I was shocked at the horrific conditions in which some people live - people were sleeping under highway bridges, in alleys and on park benches. It was pretty cold outside, so they were huddled under blankets and makeshift tents, hoping to create some warmth in the middle of the night.
Despite their desperate state, the homeless were incredibly thankful for our deliveries, and many of them were happy to talk with us as we handed out meals. These people may have lost their homes, but they have not lost their dignity. If only we could do more to help!
