Community small group
Well, we as a group picked Ozanam family shelter,they have need of people to bring food and prepare it all the time. We did that last sat. Jacob and Emily helped us also. It was OK,but you could tell that there was a general attitude of "thanks for the one time help,now you can go and feel like you did your good deed". I have to be honest, it wore me out...and that doesnt happen to easily. It was stressful all week, the shopping and prepareing for 60+ people. We didn't get but 2 days of school done. It wasnt to expensive...around 13$ PERperson in our group of 7....we are the only couple,so basically Todd got charged twice. And there was so much food wasted...I could not understand how people could throw away a plateful of food. We certainly do not do that at our house, and these people are supposed to be "hurting". It was not a bad thing for me to do this service, but I would not want to do it very often,as some in the group suggested should be done. I think it would be a good thing for people who dont have any immediate family that they are living with and supporting,but how can it be expected of someone in our situation? I dont make any money ,so Todd is supporting 5 people or more on occation and he has an average income. I was hoping for something that could be done more frequently, but this is not it.
