Today in LEAF, we went to Glide, a non-profit organization
that helps people who are homeless or can't afford to feed themselves to be
able to eat. We did a few things at the Glide organization. First, we helped
prepare food by storing eggs and frozen hot dogs in metal trays. Once we did
that, we set up the tables and prepared for the guests coming to eat. Once
people started coming in, we served them food and sometimes socialized with
them. The guests were very grateful and pleasant to be around. Once we had done
that, we met Cecil and Janice, the people who own Glide, and asked them a few
questions. They told us a lot about Glide and their mission. One thing they
talked about was their program to help people who have issues with violence or
crime. Once they finished talking to us, Janice brought in Alphonse, a man who
went in the program, who talked about his struggles and how we could overcome
our own private struggles. His talk was very motivational and it was nice of
him to take time out of his work to talk to us. Today was a great day and I
learned a lot.
