Homelessness and poverty are serious issues in Orange County, and the high income areas tend to hide how prevalent it is for people on hard times. There are many hungry and houseless, and the community outreach I worked on this week involved feeding and caring for these houseless.
I showed up at the shelter early in the morning, just as everyone was waking up and starting to move their belongings out for the day. I work in the back peeling potatoes, my favorite starch. It takes hours, but it’s worth it. Huge buckets of peeled and cut potatoes are in large pots, ready for stew. Some of my fellow teammates work on the meat and vegetable preparations, and the center starts getting stew all ready. It’s a moderately cool day today, and the stew should warm up everyone.
Finally in the afternoon, we start serving. I’m at the middle of the long table with my ladle in hand, laying down delicious bowls of stew for everyone. It is very hard work, and I can’t help but think of the volunteers that do this every single day.
