Visit #3

Today I made my third visit, and I have finally started to settle in. Much different than my first couple of visits, I didn’t feel nervous at all. I knew everyone that came in would be nice, polite and appreciative and that I had nothing to worry about. I was even starting to learn some of the “regulars” names and had a conversation with a couple people. One thing that struck me today was how many kids came in for food. I found it very sad that kids had to come in because they or their parents didn’t have enough money for food. I don’t know how I would manage if I had to go to the WARM shelter everyday for food if I was only thirteen. Another thing that made me feel sad was when people came in with heavy winter coats panting. This made me sad because they were probably forced to walk to the WARM shelter because they didn’t have a car. I don’t think its fair that a whole bunch of people have to walk miles to get food because they don’t have a car and can’t afford food themselves when some families are living in huge houses eating, eating amazing meals and watching TV on big flat screens.
