First time volunteering for the service learning project! As I was arriving I was actually very nervous. So many thoughts were in my head, what would the people be like, how many people would there be, what would be served for lunch etc. I was worried that people would be in rags and begging for more food, but that was not the case at all. When I arrived at the WARM shelter I was surprised at the normality of the people I was serving lunch to. Every last person that came in for food had normal, nice clothes, clothes you wouldn’t expect poor or homeless people to own, and they almost all had phones. People there were also very polite and didn’t beg for more food even though they couldn’t afford food themselves, they took what was given to them, and when seconds were aloud, only about three people came up for more. A big thing I noticed was that everyone that came in for lunch seemed to “trust” WARM. Everyone seemed to know WARM could provide them food for their next meal. Also, the residents that lived in WARM’s homeless shelter knew they had a bed to sleep in at night, they knew WARM wouldn’t kick them out on the streets. In many ways WARM seemed to be like a best friend to almost all of the people at WARM.
